Second party audits for an ISO Certified company
We are an ISO Certified Company recently we lost our VDA 6.3 certified auditors who were responsible for the second-party audits. What are the auditor requirements to be able to do second-party audits?
Is VDA 6.3 a requirement for automotive companies?

The ISO 9001:2015 standard does not have a clear expectation in this regard, you need to look at the customer-specific requirement. However, the IATF 16949 standard clearly stated its wishes for 2nd party auditors in article 7.2.4.
In my opinion, first refer to the customer-specific requirements, then you can refer to article 7.2.4 of the IATF 16949:2016 standard if you want.
Also, VDA 6.3 requirement is available for VW and Mercedes customer-specific requirements.
