8.4.2.3 Supplier quality management system development

The organization shall require their suppliers of automotive products and services to develop, implement, and improve a quality management system (QMS) with the ultimate objective of eligible organizations becoming certified to this Automotive QMS Standard. 

Using a risk-based model, the organization shall define a minimum acceptable level of QMS development and a target QMS development level for each supplier. certified to ISO 9001, unless otherwise Unless otherwise authorized by the customer [e.g., item a) below], a QMS certified to ISO 9001 is the initial minimum acceptable level of development. Based on current performance and the potential risk to the customer, the objective is to move suppliers through the following QMS development progression:  with the ultimate objective of becoming certified to this Automotive QMS Standard. Unless otherwise specified by the customer, the following sequence should be applied to achieve this requirement: 

a)  compliance to ISO 9001 through second-party audits;

b)  certification to ISO 9001 through third-party audits; unless otherwise specified by the customer, suppliers to the organization shall demonstrate conformity to ISO 9001 by maintaining  a  third-party  certification  issued  by  a  certification  body  bearing  the accreditation  mark  of  a  recognized  IAF  MLA  (International  Accreditation  Forum Multilateral Recognition Arrangement) member and where the accreditation body’s main scope includes management system certification to ISO/IEC 17021;
