Answer:
The Standard does not have a specific definition for critical suppliers. But you can refer to Clause 7.4.1 a to 7.4.1.e which presents the list of criteria for the evaluation and selection of suppliers. This can provide as a base to determine critical suppliers.
To see a document which specifies how to select suppliers, take a look at the free preview of this procedure:
