Suggested Answer: C,F Vote an answer

According to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 Clause 9.2.2 and 9.3.1:
Scope changes may be accommodated during the certification process, but proper evaluation is required.
The auditor should:
Confirm whether the EMS has been extended to cover the new site (C).
Inform that scope expansion needs to follow formal procedures through the certification body (F).
Simply including the new site without evaluation (A) is incorrect.
The audit plan can be adjusted, but full reassessment (D) is unnecessary unless significant issues arise.
