7.2 Customer Related Processes

Determination of requirements related to the product

Your company needs to define and record

  • customer requirements
  • other requirements for intended use such as general fitness for purpose and any statutory requirements
  • This is the old 4.3 contract review but beefed up and is again open to interpretation on its implementation of the degree you take to understand your customers requirements and the steps you take to ensure you are capable of meeting them.

    Review of product requirements

    You must review the above before you agree to sell it/ them and then communicate the terms to the customer

    You must properly handle any changed requirements

    You must ensure all affected staff are made aware of any relevant changes to requirements

    Customer Communication

    You need to implement systems in order to manage effective communicate with you customers
    This should include, but you should not limit yourself to:

  • product / service information
  • order handling
  • feedback and complaints
