Rightoh, no problem; I agree that we need to evaluate the suppliers capacity to deliver what we require from them and now I ahve some good reasons why.
As a reuslt of the points respondents have made, I certain that the pre-qualification of suppliers as intrepreted and applied by and for the big clients in the resource industry in this part of the world is definately not required by the standard but I suppose this is irrelevent.
thanks to all for your help - k
