Is ISO9K:2K Required with QS9K ?
After talking with my registrar at the beginning of 2003, it was determined that since we were going to begin a transition to TS, that we would maintain our QS cert as long as necessary and simply drop the ISO (1994) part all together come 12/15/2003. The intent then was to go forward under just QS9000 until we gain TS certification. We are a tier 2 & 3 automotive supplier with no stated customer requirements to ISO 9K:2K, until now, one of our automotive customers is asking for an ISO 9K:2K cert (in addition to QS) by 12/15/03.
Is there an requirement that all QS certifications have the separate ISO 9K:2K certifications, or can the QS certification stand alone until its sunset in 2006? Im speaking outside of specific customer requirements of course, Im inquiring for "in general".
Thanks!
Steve
