Currently, we have an ISO 9001 certificate from a well-known certifying body with a scope statement saying: “Manufacture of Flexible Printed Circuits…” The same scope is also indicated in our ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates – still from the same CB. Our company here in the Philippines receives product drawings from our sister company which is based in Japan. Thus, our Philippine company is not responsible for the product design. We just manufacture them as specified in the product drawings.
However, when we opted to seek certification to ISO/TS 16949, our CB asserted that they need to audit the design function of our sister company. Is this necessary? Or a requirement by IATF?
Hope you can help out my fellow Covers.
