Perhaps I now understand Peter. Maybe not. My employer's various ISO certs indicate the generic type of business and products. So it would be a leap for us to make rubber dog toys under yet another process then claim ISO accreditation using a cert that scopes electrical power stuff. But this is not your case.
So the safety cert/report for end-use box listed another company's ISO cert as a requirement or condition of acceptability?

Don't assume the cert. is out of scope or that the processes of our suppliers aren't independently audited. The primary issue mentioned was tying the (reportedly) world's largest contract manufacturer's ISO 9000 cert. to a particular customer company's name and product models. I can't see any contract manufacturer buying into that. A highly respected EU product safety test house's product safety cert. for the end-product that explicitly mentioned the factory name and address accompanied factory's the ISO cert. to help tie the package together.
