ISO/TS 16949:2009 - Quality Management system - Automotive
ISO/TS 16949:2009 - Quality Management Systems -- Particular requirements for the application of ISO 9001:2008 for automotive production and relevant service part organizations
This Technical Specification, in conjunction with ISO 9001:2008, defines the quality management system requirements for the design and development, production and, when relevant, installation and service of automotive-related products.
This Technical Specification is applicable to sites of the organization where customer-specified parts, for production and/or service, are manufactured. Supporting functions, whether on-site or remote (such as design centres, corporate headquarters and distribution centres), form part of the site audit as they support the site, but cannot obtain stand-alone certification to this Technical Specification.		 ISO/TS 16949
This Technical Specification can be applied throughout the automotive supply chain. The reason for the creation of ISO/TS 16949 was to harmonize the North American automotive standard QS-9000 with the European automotive (AVSQ: Italy, EAQF: France and VDA 6.1: Germany) requirements. The responsible group governing the administration and control of the standard, including the qualification requirements for the Registrars and Auditors is the IATF (International Automotive Task Force) – Which is a joint body formed by the US and European automakers.
ISO/TS 16949 will bring a common automotive scheme for certification bodies that will be recognized by all IATF members.
