ISO 9001 Clause 8.4: what the standard asks for, and where Supplier will fit

Clause 8.4 asks you to make sure that what you buy in, whether a product, a service or a whole process, meets your requirements. That means setting criteria for choosing, evaluating, monitoring and re-evaluating suppliers, keeping a record of those evaluations, controlling what they supply to a degree that suits its effect on what you deliver, and telling them clearly what you require. ClearVue Supplier is planned to hold the supplier approval process and the ongoing evaluation records 8.4 asks you to keep.
