What the documents do not cover

An accredited certification body issues the certificate after auditing your management system. doooqs prepares the documents for that system.
The due diligence guide ties the level of assessment to the type of supplier, the goods and the place of service; the intermediate and advanced levels answer on quality, insurance, supply chain and EHSS management, and the advanced level needs particular technical qualifications and may include a visit.
The company, bank, ownership, structure, classification and scope-of-supply details, the due diligence questionnaire and the attachments required.
Check each buyer’s requirements in its own portal, since they change and may include licences and registrations the documents do not cover.

Questions

Does SABIC require an ISO certificate, or is a documented system enough?

Clause 4.1 of SABIC’s purchase terms requires a quality control system and documented procedures that follow industrial practice and ISO 9001. Registration requirements follow the level of assessment that the type of supplier sets.

Which management system documents does SABIC ask for by name?

The purchase terms ask for documented quality control procedures, and the EHSS clauses ask for compliance with the procedures of the delivery site, the recommendations of material safety sheets and written reporting of significant incidents within 24 hours, and allow audit.

Buyer names belong to their owners; this answer is guidance, does not represent any buyer and promises neither qualification nor a certificate.
