Is ISO 9001 listing of activities mandatory
I would like to ask if the listing of the activities listed in an ISO 9001 (or even ISO 14001) certificate is mandatory. That is, a certificate indicating the following activities: design and construction of civil buildings + restoration of immovable property subject to protection are equivalent or actually covers a wider scope than a certificate in which only the design and construction of civil buildings is declared?
From my point of view, the first covers the categories OG1 and OG2 while the second only the OG1 category, is that correct?

Unfortunately, we cannot give you a specific answer because we are not aware of categories OGi. What we can say is that the scope defines and communicates the borders of the management system. The scope should clearly describe the type of Products and Services covered by the system and provide sufficient information, preventing the transmission of erroneous or misleading information about what the organization covers in the management system and what it is able to provide to its customers. Describing a list of activities, instead of a general description, is used either to reinforce the message of something that the organization wants to highlight that it is included in the management system, or precisely the opposite, to communicate what is not included.
