TS 16949
The aim of ISO/TS16949 is the
development of a quality Managements system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing
defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. TS16949 applies to the
design/development, production and, when relevant,installation and servicing of automotive-related
products. It is based on ISO9000.
ISO/TS 16949:2002 was
prepared by International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and Japan Automobile
Manufacturers Assosiation Inc (JAMA),with support from ISO/TC 176, Quality
Management and Quality Assurance.
ISO/TS16949 = ISO
9001:2000 requirement + Automotive Requirement + Customer Specific Requirement
The Organization that
already implemented ISO9001:2000 can upgrade to ISO/TS16949:2002
ISO/TS16949:2002,
the technical specification, was approved and
issued in March 2002, as an automotive sector-specific QMS set of requirements
which uses ISO 9001:2000 (verbatim) as its base.
It replaced ISO/TS16949:1999 based on ISO 9001:1994, and is intended to be an
alternative to QS-9000:1998 and other national automotive OEM supplier
requirements.
As an international ISO
specification:
- Anyone can acquire a copy of this International Technical
Specification, ISO/TS16949:2002
- Anyone can utilize this document to improve their Quality
Management Systems;
- It is an international specification to which an organization can
be certified by a 3rd party certification body or registrar

Who
are the IATF?
The IATF is an ad hoc group of OEM's and automotive trade
associations whose common goal is to improve the quality of products to
automotive customers worldwide. IATF members include the Big 3 and other OEM's
and industry groups.
The
IATF consists of an international group of vehicle manufacturers, BMW Group,
DaimlerChrysler, Fiat Auto, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, PSA
Peugeot-Citroen, Renault SA and Volkswagen, plus national trade associations,
AIAG (US), VDA (Germany), SMMT (UK), ANFIA (Italy) and FIEV (France).
What
is the IATF Tasked to Do?
The IATF has a very specific mission - the
development of a consensus quality systems requirements document for automotive
supply chain, along with a recognition scheme and training to support third
party assessments of automotive suppliers. The result of the IATF's efforts, in
conjunction with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has
been the introduction of ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management systems
requirements documents.
The
IATF administers the ISO/TS 16949 through a network of formal liaisons
established in member countries. These include the International Automotive
Oversight Bureau (IAOB) for the US,CCFA for France, ANFIA for Italy, VDA for Germany,
and SMMT for the UK.

Does ISO/TS 16949
replace QS 9000, VDA 6.1, etc?
No - ISO/TS 16949 provides an
option for the automotive supply chain. Some organizations may elect to
continue with registration to their current Standard, while others may see the
benefit in updating to the ISO/TS Standard because of the increased value that
can be gained from its process-approach based methodology or to satisfy
Customer requirements that may require registration to multiple standards (e.g.
In situation where the organization has a customer requiring QS 9000 and
another requiring VDA 6.1 it may be possible to satisfy both via ISO/TS 16949,
with customer concurrence).
