Hey All, I am in a bit of a strange situation. We are a Tier 2 semiconductor manufacturing site, recently purchased by a new company. To date, we only technically have a few known direct automotive customers and we are being told by our corporate team that we do not have any CSR documentation from these customers. The only issue is, as part of our previous company, we know that at least some of these customers do have CSR documents. Assuming these CSR documents have not been provided to our new company and they are not readily available online, are we still considered on the hook for being compliant to these? We've been told by management we do not actively seek out CSRs.
If CSRs are not provided by a customer and do not exist in a document available to the public, are we OK to state there are no CSR for these customers? Or should we be actively seeking these out. This has been a big point of dissension during the last few weeks.
The only documentation that I see that relates to this is the FAQ on the IATF website where it discusses your CSR matrix requirements and has the following verbiage: It is important to note that the non-IATF OEM customers and other automotive customers may have customer requirements in an internal document that is shared with their suppliers (e.g. such as a supplier quality manual) or in a specific document available to the public (e.g. internet).
I appreciate any feedback/opinions on this matter.
