Need some input. The above standards relate to applications of quality systems with regards to ATEX approval (hazardous locations). Almost identical to ISO 9001 but a few more requirments.Fighting back and forth with 3rd party auditor of section 7.4.1.c) Auditors state that we have to re-evaluate any supplier we have not used in over 12 months on a yearly basis?
We also have to review any current supplier on a yearly basis.
Anybody else dealt with this?
Why would a company be require to completely re-evaluate a supplier you are not using? What does that have to do with the quality of a component? and who the h*ll are they to tell my company what supplier we can and can not use as long as they meet the requiremetns of our company and the directive?
