I, as a mere citizen, did this recently when I audited a supplier factory. Long answer - If the process is not documented and audited, there is no basis for the scope of the ISO9k cert. And my tracibility is audited by my customer, so this stuff goes both 'upstream' and 'downstream'. At least for the stuff that my employer makes, this is also very important when you go for China CCC or Japan S marks. If the client company does not require tracibility or anything fancy, just audit the place for a reasonable, documented, and controlled process; and take your type tests to another lab. No pretty certs required.
Short answer - not unreasonable. Extraordinary only in that someone actually read the scope of the cert.

This seems an extraordinary claim. Regards, Peter L.
