Misunderstanding Marking Polymaric Parts - PPAP

Q

#1
My company makes automotive and truck wiring harnesses, we are first teir to Ford and Eaton and second teir to GM. We recently had a TS auditor tell us we were not following the PPAP 4th edition because we did not mark the finished harnesses according to Section 2.2.1.2 of the PPAP Manual.

The way I understand it is that individual parts need to be marked. So far we havn't had any individual parts that make up our harnesses that need to marked. But the harness as a whole sometimes has more than 100g of plastic contained in it.
Do we need to mark the harness or have the suppliers mark the individual parts?

The requirement applies to individual parts, not the aggregate weight of polymeric parts in an assembly. No one is going to want to recycle the whole harness.
