ISO-TS 16949 is an ISO Technical Specification, which aligns the automotive quality system requirements within the global automotive industry. In conjunction with ISO 9001:2000, ISO/TS 16949:2002 specifies the quality management system requirements for the automotive suppliers under new process approach of the standard laying an emphasis on continual improvements. ISO/TS 16949 has been written by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and Japan Automobile Manufacturers Associations (JAMA) with a support from ISO s technical committee for Quality Management & Quality Assurance, ISO/TC 176. Along with customer specific requirements, ISO/TS 16949, as a single harmonized standard, satisfies the requirements of the following automotive quality systems standards: QS-9000 (American), VDA 6.1 (German), AVSQ (Italian) and EAQF (French). The major benefits of the standard are that the suppliers that provide automotive products to international markets have the option of maintaining one quality system registration to meet multiple customer quality requirements. In addition to avoiding multiple certification audits, ISO/TS 16949 has been designed to improve product and process quality while increasing efficiency and reducing variation. For the implementation of this specification, the supplier is required to develop a Quality Manual, Procedures, Work Instructions and other documents in line with the requirements. A supplier who has already implemented an ISO 9000 based quality system can add on the additional requirements to its existing documentation in order to achieve compliance.
