Some organizations such as Hotels, Restaurants, Education Centers, Consultants, Public$ V0 W$ w( z* j6 q8 @/ J

These types of “equipment” should be controlled and validated accordingly to ensure

It is appropriate to address these types of “equipment” whilst auditing conformance with

all the requirements related to Clause 7.6 may be applicable for such “equipment”.

From the description above, the organization should be able to decide whether or not all( J: p% E$ ^7 x. J2 U4 ]
