Automotive manufacturers require suppliers to certify their quality systems to the industry’s own requirements. It can be a challenge to make the right decision for your organization and develop a system that will satisfy your customers in the years ahead.
To make a decision, it is critical that you understand the various options available, the contractual requirements, and deadlines from the automotive manufacturers. There is one international standard, ISO/TS 16949:2002. In addition there are national standards like QS-9000 and VDA 6.1. Just like ISO/TS 16949:2002, the national standards all incorporate certification to the Quality Management System standard ISO 9001:2000, and are committed to the transition of all their certificates to the ISO/TS 16949:2002 edition.
