Additional Comments:

The following addition points were noted: a. Overall Findings: The Hunter Marine Surveyor’s Quality Manual (QM) is well suited for the business, is simple to understand and focussed on

the key business activities. There is a strong commitment and understanding to the requirements of a Quality System. The system addresses all of the Quality Standard requirements and is deigned to suit the operational requirements of the business. The business processes are considered mature; however the quality system is still developing.

b. Capability of QMS: The QM is well suited to the business with detailed procedures supporting the defined procedures for key elements of the business. As the Company undertakes the provision of marine surveys, there are a number of industry and legal obligations that apply. The organisational specific and general regulatory requirements have been identified and are tracked within the system. The capabilities of the Quality System are considered appropriate.

c. QMS Implementation: The System has been in operation for several years, but has only recently been formally reviewed and documented with the aim of achieving ISO 9001:200 certification. The system has undergone progressive improvements since its initial implementation. The system is considered mature in terms of its implementation, but immature in terms of record keeping.

d. QMS Arrangements: The quality arrangements are considered immature in terms of the implementation, however the business processes are considered mature.

e. QMS Maturity/Effectiveness: The quality system is immature but the under pinning business processes are well developed. Overall the system is considered effective and well suited to the business

f. Internal Audits: Internal audits are planned and undertaken as part of the mainstream business processes. g. Comparison with Previous Visits: As for Stage 1.

Audit Report – Pre-printed substitute Issue level 2, May 2013 Member of SN Registrars (Holdings) Ltd

Stage 2 Audit Summary A formal on site Stage 2 audit was conducted upon the documented Quality Management System, to determine compliance with ISO 9001:2008. The findings were: • No of Critical/significant nonconformities = Nil. • No of Minor nonconformities = Four (4). • No of Observations = Nil. During the audit no critical and four (4) minor non conformance reports were raised. The Critical NCR(s) should be actioned before a recommendation for certification can be made. An acceptable action plan must be received, which addresses all minor non-conformances within an appropriate period of time, before a recommendation for certification can be made. Any applicable observations (both positive and negative) were noted during the assessment and details of these can be found in the attached CAR sheets. Hunter Marine Services should be aware that a recommendation to proceed with Certification may be overruled by the Certification decision maker and is subject to ongoing surveillance audits. Auditing is a sampling process and therefore non-conformances may exist that were not observed during this audit.
