8.4.2.3. States: The Organization (That's me) shall require their suppliers of automotive products and services to develop, implement, and improve a quality management system certified to ISO9001.
None of my suppliers supply automotive products or automotive services, just raw materials, tools, lubricants, packing etc but none of these could be considered an automotive product or automotive service.
My company however do supply components to a 2nd tier automotive supplier, so what we produce could be considered an automotive product, and we already hold ISO/TS 16949 (about to transition to IATF 16949)
The majority of our suppliers already have a legitimate ISO 9001 certification, so no problems there, but the ones that don't have absolutely nothing to do with the automotive industry.
Why include "automotive products and services" if the intention is any and/or all suppliers?
Am I understanding this correctly or am I just missing the point?
