Scope and exclusions

Answer:

As far as I understand your organization can provide a list of coatings for metals from your own design and development or can provide the metal coating service according customer requirements.

Choosing a certification scope is a management decision. Your organization has three options:

A – Consider only the coatings according own requirements;

B – Consider only the coatings according customer requirements;

C – Consider all coatings

In case A clause 8.3 is applicable at your QMS.

In case B clause 8.3 is not applicable at your QMS

In case C clause 8.3 is applicable at your QMS.
