Final Product Prints - Are Final Product Prints required by ISO 9001?

We sale many different types of assembled widgets, but have no final product prints. If we were going to attempt to be certified to the ISO9001 standard, would we have any issues?

As long as the product requirements are defined somehow, there is no requirement for prints at all.

If you are designing the product then look at 7.3.3
Design and development outputs shall
a) meet the input requirements for design and development,
b) provide appropriate information for purchasing, production and for service provision,
c) contain or reference product acceptance criteria, and
d) specify the characteristics of the product that are essential for its safe and proper use.

For production, look at 7.5.1:
The organization shall plan and carry out production and service provision under controlled conditions. Controlled conditions shall include, as applicable
a) the availability of information that describes the characteristics of the product...

"Appropriate information" is what's required. Your company decides how to define it.

I am making the assumption that you are talking about prints used in the production of your product, not prints to your end users?

If prints are not required to put the product together, then no. Use only the documents that you need to ensure that your system functions, and your produce product that meets the customer's requirements and its intended use.
