Product Realization requirements for distribution and manufacturing facility

1. The facility is a manufacturing and distribution warehouse. Do I still need to meet clause 7. Product realization requirements as per the standard?

2. Do we need to keep medical device files for all our stored substances or is this for a manufacturer only?

Thanks for your help
