The ISO/TS 16949 was jointly developed by the members of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in close collaboration with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The aim was to combine the individual requirements of the four most common automotive standards in Europe and the USA - QS-9000, VDA 6.1, EAQF and AVSQ - into a single standard. This technical specification together with customer-specific requirements defines quality system requirements for use in the automotive supply chain.
The ISO/TS 16949:2002 standard, specifies the quality system requirements for the design, development, production, installation and servicing of automotive related products. Vehicle component manufacturers have to achieve this standard to be able to supply to the world's largest automotive manufacturers.
The certification is widely sought by automotive product manufacturers because automobile giants like BMW, Volkswagon, Fiat, Ford, GM, and Japanese auto majors recognize it. ISO/TS 16949 system is available to all automotive supply chain companies.
The benefits of adopting this standard are numerous:
• Increased efficiency and improved quality
• Common quality system approach in the supply chain for development and consistency
• Ensuring that the organization works more effectively
• Reduction of variation and increase in efficiency
• Reduction in multiple third party registrations freeing up time and supplier resources for other quality activities and improvement opportunities that can enhance business.
URS is a recognized by IATF (International Automotive Task Force) to offer ISO/TS16949: 2002 certification to automotive suppliers.
