4.2.2.a specifies the Quality Manual is to have the scope of the QMS including details and justification for exclusions.

Are you talking about the scope described in the quality manual? If so, Johnnymo62 has a good answer. If you are talking about the scope that is on a TS 16949 certificate, there are some additional rules.

Hellow howste,

I mean about the scope on a ISO TS Certificate, could you help me out with the rules? I was surfing in the IATF site but didn't find anything.
Thanks

My understanding is that Customer Specific Requirements are suppose to be included in the scope. Sounds like you need to develop a list of interested parties and identify their requirements first before the scope.
