Determining the scope

Company XXX located in Anytown, Anystate, USA produces and supplies stainless steel and aluminum for commercial and industrial markets located in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our product line includes sheets, blanks, slit coil and master coil with precise tolerances which are available with various finishes and PVC coatings.
10. QMS Requirements
Company XXX receives detailed requirements which are already established by our customers, via specifications and drawings; therefore,
Clause 8.3, Design and Development does not apply and is not within the scope of our QMS.

Answer:

The scope is correct. The scope needs to identify the physical locations of the QMS, products or services that are created within the QMS processes, and the industries that are applicable, incase this is relevant. Also, it should be clear enough to define what your business does, and if not all parts of the business are applicable, it should be easily identified which parts are.
