ISO 9001 Re-evaluation of suppliers

ISO 9001:2015 does not set a period evaluation or re-evaluation of suppliers. The last paragraph of clause 8.4.1 sets the need for determining when to re-evaluate external providers and to retain records of these activities. It is up to each organization to define the most suitable frequency. For example, when working with the fashion industry I normally recommend suppliers to evaluate every six months because winter and summer requirements and suppliers can differ a lot.
