Scope of ISO 9001 vs scope of QMS

Answer:

In the text of ISO 9001:2015 there are two sections explaining scopes. Clause 1 Scope explains the scope of the standard itself, its applicability to any type of organization regardless of the type, size and products and services it provides. This clause does not contain any requirements for QMS.

On the other hand, clause 4.3 Determining the scope of the quality management system defines requirements for organization to determine and document scope of its QMS (Quality Management System) as well as the requirements of what the scope statement should include (i.e products and services being covered by the scope).
