Organizations should cherish the property of customers or external suppliers under their control or use.
The organization shall identify, verify, protect, and protect the property of customers and external suppliers used by the organization or forming part of its products and services.
If the property of customers or external suppliers is lost, damaged, or found to be unsuitable, the organization shall report to the customers or external suppliers and retain written information of the situation.
Note: The property of customers or external suppliers may include materials, parts, tools and equipment, as well as premises, intellectual property, and personal data
Customer (customer, contractor, or service provider, etc.) property is included or used for product production or service provision.
External supplier property refers to property provided to an organization for a certain purpose (such as leased packaging equipment or personal information).
Property may be tangible or intangible, such as materials, tools, customer premises, intellectual property, or personal data
In addition, products that have been inspected and received by the customer on site but need to be stored in the organization's warehouse or site for a period of time before being transferred out, although they do not fall within the scope of this clause, must be protected as necessary as customer property.
The property protection measures that an organization should take depend on the type of property. Property owner information should be identified (such as various markings) and published within the organization, preferably isolated or stored in a dedicated location. It is best to establish regular reports on the status of property management to customers (usage, current status, quantity, etc.)
