To be clear
VDA 6.3 is not a certifiable standard
It is a process audit as required by TS in 8.2.2.2 Manufacturing process audit , which is defined in a better way than the TS standard.
Just as the US companies have mandated LPAs, German companies are mandating VDA 6.3
The next stage will be mandating VDA 6.5 for TS 8.2.2.3 Product audit as this is also not clear from the standard.

The ultimate was the comment that a "lot of our supplier are angry about this..." Really? Ya think?
