We have been discussing a very interesting topic in the standard clause 8.4.2.d especially where the test reports need to be verified to confirm meets requirements. If we are REQUIRED to comply this will definitely not be able to due to the very expensive cost of verifying the plastic material we purchase for our Aerospace customers.

Are we misinterpreting this requirement or is there a less costly method to comply?"

Answer given:
Edward,

The actual wording of clause 8.4.2 d is "The organisation shall determine the verification, or other activities, necessary to ensure that the externally provided processes, products and service meet requirements." This is in regard to the type and extent of control that you need to place on external providers.

So, the requirement is asking you to determine what activities you will use to verify that you have processes, products and services that meet requirements. In your example, this could mean verification testing of the plastics products you receive, but it could also mean receiving and verifying the material test report from your supplier as a way of verifying that you received the product that meets the requirements. The requirement is not saying you need to verify every material you get, but to identify what activities are necessary.

Just one step further, the next sentence in the AS9100 Rev D standard states that the verification activities are to be performed according tot he risks identified by the organisation, so if you have not identified a risk for this material it would further indicate that extra material testing was not required.
