No, you cannot use it. Your new operation in Norway is not included in the scope of the other certified systems of the company. So, you must first implement the management system and then your company can request the certification of the operation in Norway or include the Norwegian site in the scope of another certified site. In the second case, in the next recertification or surveillance audit, the Norwegian site will be included.
Organizations shall define, document, and make available the scope of the QMS, referring to the Products and Services that are provided and identifying the limits of the management system. The scope should clearly describe the type of Products and Services covered by the system and provide sufficient information, preventing the transmission of erroneous or misleading information about what the organization covers in the quality management system and what it is able to provide to its customers. It must be available because it is through the scope that the organization communicates to the relevant interested parties, namely customers and potential customers, the Products and Services it makes available, and the locations involved.
