Defining scope of QMS

Answer:

The standard requires organizations to define the scope of its quality management system, meaning that you need to determine what processes, locations, products and services will be included in your quality management system. This can be the entire organization, but in some cases the companies create separate QMS for separate locations or departments of the same company.

There is no need for writing a procedure for determining the scope of QMS, however it must be documented somewhere. This is usually done in the Quality Manual or in separate document about the scope of QMS.
