Can a multipurpose audit/inspection replace a previously scheduled HC Recognized Registrar audit or FDA AP inspection?

Yes, a multipurpose audit/inspection may be scheduled and performed for an annual surveillance or re-registration HC Recognized Registrar audit as long as the date of the multipurpose audit/inspection satisfies:

1. The HC Recognized Registrar’s annual surveillance or 3-year re-registration audit schedule; and
2. The FDA AP inspection criteria.
