Scope of the QMS

In 4.3_Appendix_3 Scope of the QMS section 3 the scope is defined in all the areas listed i.e. 3.1 - 3.6, do these definitions then combined together make up the Scope as a whole? Is there a place we document the entire scope? What is the expected length of the scope. Our current scope is one paragraph (4 lines) with more emphasis being put on the Scope whats the expected length?

If you fill in all the sections from the document, you will define your entire scope. Sections from 3.1 to 3.6 cover different aspects of the scope and once you complete them, you will have the your scope defined. There is no expected length of the scope, in some cases it can be defined in one sentence.
