I know that the interpretations do not say anything about where this requirement stops on the food chain, but do you see this targeting mainly tier 2 suppliers?

I don't know - it sounds as if it's 'all the way' down. Heck - 2nd and 3rd tiers have already been passing QS-9000 requirements down stream.Originally posted by Roger Eastin:

Excellent observation, Tom.Originally posted by tomvehoski:
There may be some relief with the additional registration requirements in Appendix I (Paragraph 4, Page 112) of QS-9000. This paragraph states that some elements of QS-9000 may be waived by the supplier for a small company that does not have adequate resources. This seems to conflict with the new interpretation. Also, how small is too small?
Nope - the interpretation specifically says "... certification by an accredited certification body ..."Originally posted by JRKH:
In the standard it gives the acceptable methods of registration. I believe one of them is ceritfication by the customer. Perhaps this is one way around this.
