Use of customer logos in AS9100 records

Staff at this AS9100D company have a habit of copy/pasting customers logos to company documents that will function as records. For me, it’s mind boggling that staff would freely rip logos from customer websites.

Is there are area of AS9100 that would cover this issue? Using customer logos might cause mistake or confusion about the source of the record.

Answer:
As with all the ISO management system standard the requirements give you a description of what needs to be done, but do not give you a prescriptive way of doing it. As such there is no mention of this sort of specific example in the standard, only giving you the requirements for having systems to maintain documented information. However, I do agree that this usage could be confusing on records and may also infringe on legal requirements if the usage was not pre-approved, but I am not a legal expert for this.
