Hi,
We have an automotive customer. The fluid we produce ends up on the vehicle. However, the customer does not require suppliers to be certified to IATF 16949. In fact, the Customer's supplier quality manual only states ISO 9001 as a supplier requirement. In audit planning, our CB asks us to list the customer and products. Do we need to include this customer in the scope of our IATF audit? Some background: not all of the customers and products we manufacture are automotive, so we have many customers and products that are not relevant to the IATF audit. Thanks.
