Our company is QS-9000 certified and does not use subcontractors. We do have suppliers for purchasing packaging materials. Does this element apply to us? If our packaging suppliers are ISO certified, why would we have to send them a self assessment audit? Shouldn't the fact that they are ISO, and have a resgistrar audit them on a regular basis, be enough? And what about our suppliers that are not ISO? They are small companys, that have no intention of becoming ISO, and don't understand the self assessment audit enough to answer the questions and send it back. If you could clear up any confusion on this I would appreciate it. IP: Logged |

A supplier is a sub-contractor. So - yes. IP: Logged |

If you are already QS certified don't you already have a supplier/subcontractor development system in place? As Marc said, the definition of supplier and sub-contractor are the same, just at different levels of the suppy chain. Registration/certification to "a" standard does not resolve the requirement to help develop suppliers/sub-contractors. I don't say it often, but the definitions and requirements on this element (4.6) are pretty clear. ASD... IP: Logged |

Refer to the IASG interpretations for clarification. Can be found at this site; http://www.qs-9000.org/index.html You as the customer decide the level of subcontractor developement to implement. Subcontractor development does not mean that your subcontractors are required to register to QS-9000. IP: Logged |
