Exclusions in the scope of the QMS

Answer:

Exclusions doesn´t apply when the standard has been already implemented. In fact one of the first steps when implementing ISO 9001:2015 is determining the scope of the organization and when defining the scope of your QMS you should also determine if any exclusions apply and justify them. For instance, if a company doesn´t do any design work, but it uses designs already given by a customer, you can say that this requirement doesn´t apply to your organization.
