Explanation
Temporary sites must be considered in surveillance audit planning, as they are time-limited and present specific operational risks. ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 Clause 9.6.2.2 states: "Audit frequency and scheduling must consider factors such as temporary sites, risk exposure, and operational changes." The IAF MD1 Guidelines further support the adjustment of surveillance activities based on the presence of temporary sites or operations.
