Explanation

The principle being neglected is Due Professional Care. According to ISO 19011:2018 - Clause 4(f), auditors are expected to apply diligence, competence, and judgment during audit activities. If an auditor proceeds with an audit without the required expertise, especially for a high-risk system like autonomous driving, this violates the principle of due care. The PECB Lead Auditor Guide - Domain 3 clearly states that in complex technical environments (such as AI or autonomous systems), auditors must seek assistance from domain specialists when they lack direct experience.
