The ISO / TS 16949 standard is a worldwide standard developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), which is comprised of the world's leading manufacturers and commercial institutions. It is a quality management system that determines requirements for design, development, production and assembly and service of automotive-related products where necessary.
ISO / TS 16949 combines various regional and national automotive standards such as AVSQ (Italy), EAQF (France), VDA6 (Germany) and QS-9000 (USA) and ISO 9001's quality management principles under a single standard.
30 percent of the companies operating in the automotive sub-industry have quality certificates such as ISO 9000, QS 9000 and ISO 14000 which are accepted in international markets. ISO TS 16949 Automotive Quality Management System Certificate has now been added to these certificates. The ISO TS 2009 standard, which was revised in 16949, is important in terms of showing the importance that suppliers attach to production understanding, business processes, audit studies and customer satisfaction.
The ISO TS 16949 Automotive Quality Management System standard, which was developed to meet the specific needs of industrial companies or suppliers in the automotive sector, provides significant benefits to companies.
