But Preservation of product must apply to the product not a product.

Otherwise we would, using the sorts of arguments that have been put forward, have to protect the knobs on our doors because that's a product.

You must pay close attention to Note 1 b) under ISO 9001:2008 Section 1.1, which clarifies what the term product means in the context of the standard. Any component, sub-assembly, firmware, etc. is a product. It goes beyond the finished (assembled) product.

No. You're still missing the point and either not listening or not understanding.

Sydney is right.

Finally got it through my thick head.

I do appreciate all the responses I've had even if it doesn't always appear that way.

Nice one Mike - it sometimes takes a while for some of these things to make sense and thanks for coming back to explain.
