Exam ISO-14001-Lead-Auditor Topic 3 Question 82 Discussion

The correct answers are D and F .
A second-party audit is an external audit carried out by an organization that has an interest in the auditee, such as a customer auditing a supplier , or by another party acting on that customer's behalf.
Therefore:
C). An auditor from a customer - participates
This is the clearest example of a second-party audit.
A). An auditor employed by an external consultancy organisation - may participate A consultancy auditor may conduct the audit on behalf of the customer or interested party, so this can still be a second-party audit.
B). An auditor certified by an auditor certification body - may participate Auditor certification is a competence credential. It does not determine whether the audit is first-party, second- party, or third-party.
E). An auditor trained in the CQI and IRCA scheme - may participate
Training or qualification does not define the audit type. Such an auditor may participate in a second-party audit if acting for the customer or interested party.
D). A certification body auditor - does not participate in a second-party audit A certification body auditor performs third-party audits , such as ISO 14001 certification audits.
F). An auditor from an accreditation body - does not participate in a second-party audit An accreditation body auditor assesses certification bodies, not suppliers or organizations as part of a customer-related second-party audit.
So, the two roles that do not participate in a second-party ISO 14001 audit are D. Certification body auditor and F. Auditor from an accreditation body .
