Lots of arguements regarding clause 7.4.1.2, here is the interpretation from IAOB:
http://www.iaob.org/faq.html
IATF guidance includes wording "a process to achieve the above" - meaning you could accept a plan to achieve the requirement - and as far as maximum timing of that plan - our view is that it should be achievable during the three year life of the certificate. Surveillance visits shall monitor achievement of the plan.
That means as TS certified organization, you can still purchase form some companies without any QMS certification, but you should:
1. Confirm they are compliance with ISO 9001:2000 (supplier audit?)
2. Proof that your supplier is working towards to ISO 9001:2000 certification
3. Your supplier shall be certified in 3 years or your TS recertified.
4. Proof that your supplier is compliance with TS 16949.
Note: Only for manufacturing suppliers, you dont need to ask Wal-Mart to be certified.
