Question 1 of 30
During an audit of a cosmetic manufacturing facility, a lead auditor discovers that a specific batch of liquid foundation exhibited significant color variation, leading to its quarantine. The manufacturer has documented the quarantine and initiated a review of the production records for that batch. What is the most critical action for the lead auditor to verify to ensure the company\'s adherence to ISO 22716:2007 regarding non-conforming products and the effectiveness of their quality management system?
Review the documented corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plan initiated for the color variation, its implementation status, and evidence of its effectiveness in preventing recurrence.
Confirm that the quarantined batch has been clearly identified and segregated from conforming products in a designated area.
Examine the raw material certificates of analysis for the pigments used in the affected batch to ensure they met specifications.
Verify that the production team has conducted a thorough cleaning of the filling and mixing equipment used for the batch.
