You must begin with the premise that all requirements of TS 16949 are generic and applicable to your QMS. The only permitted exclusion to TS 16949 is from clause 7.3, for product design and development, if your organization is not responsible to any automotive OEM for design and development activity. If you not clear whether you are design responsible, contact your customer and get clarification in writing.
