Hello all,
In my company (EPC provider of Geothermal Power Plants) we reference multiple international standards as part of our standard design input ,
an example would be a sentence like this in our standard product specifications which is part of the contract requirements.
"Stainless steel pipe and fittings Specifications according to AISI 316L:, see relevant specifications in section 3.1."
This is just one of over hundred standards we reference. However the engineering department is not in possession of any of these international standards.
Me as a QM of the company has pointed it out and even got a quotation from BSI for all the standards. However the engineering manager doesnt want to buy them (or ask for a permission to buy them) until he gets a clear reference to a requirement within our QMS (ISO9001:2015). My idea is to report a nonconformity, but i am having a hard time formulating it.
So...... my question is: Which clause in the standard would you reference as a criteria not being met. I am thinking that we are not able to verify our design output as we don't have anything to verify against...
Any help appreciated!
