what clauses are compulsory to our organization?
Answer:
Basically, all clauses are mandatory. An organization can only exclude those clauses that are not applicable. Without knowing in detail your business, it is very difficult to give a clear answer. For example, does your organization design consulting services? If not, ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.3 is not applicable.
What should be the scope?
Answer:
About the scope, as you can see in this free webinar on-demand - ISO 9001:2015 clause 4 - Context of the organization, interested parties, and scope - https://advisera.com/9001academy/webinar/iso-90012015-clause-4-context-of-the-organization-interested-parties-and-scope-free-webinar-on-demand/ - it is a management decision, not a technical decision. The webinar explains some of the nuances behind different scopes. Your organization can have 10 different consulting services and decide to design a quality management system applicable only to three of those services.
