Raul,

Even if your customer nominates your organization's supplier it is still responsible for their performance.

The it being your organization.
So even if the standard doesn't require the retention of these files, per the ISO standard we are required to keep them?...

Raúl,

Your supplier selection criteria may include “or as specified by the customer”.

The part of the contract that specified the supplier should be in your files (for instant access) or archives (for planned access).

You’d have to consult your procedure for filing and archiving to know when such records are meant to be destroyed.

You may also have kept records of the supplier’s performance per your purchasing procedure.
