Performance Evaluation Procedure - internal audit and management review for construction

Most management systems are strong on Plan and Do, and quietly fail at Check. The Performance Evaluation Procedure is the whole check-phase in one document: how internal audits are scheduled and run (clause 9.2) and how management review turns their results into decisions (clause 9.3), across ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Embedded process map included.

What it defines

A risk-based audit schedule (audit what hurts, not just what is due), auditor independence and competence expectations, reporting and finding classification, then the management review cycle: required inputs, the decisions leadership must actually make, and how actions are tracked to closure. One procedure, because audit and review are one loop - audits feed review, review re-aims audits.

Why certifiers weight it heavily

Clauses 9.2 and 9.3 are mandatory evidence at every certification and surveillance audit; weak check-phase evidence is among the fastest routes to a major finding. More usefully, a working check-phase is how leadership finds out the truth about their own business before someone external does. Written for civil construction, mining, utilities and transport by a lead auditor with 15+ years of certification experience, aligned to the current standards including the ISO 9001:2026 FDIS.
