Report review is the bottleneck before the certification decision.

ISO/IEC 17021-1 requires a competent person, not involved in the audit, to review the audit and its report before the decision. In medical devices the regulatory stakes are high: design controls (7.3) and corrective actions (8.5) generate most nonconformities, and common gaps are incomplete traceability matrices, outdated risk-management files and weak supplier controls. The reviewer must confirm every finding is tied to the most specific clause, properly evidenced, and that interrelated findings stay connected.
