ISO/TS 16949 

With greater emphasis on automotive quality and transportation safety than ever before, companies in the automotive sector are under increasing pressure from consumer groups to improve upon overall automobile value.  In response to demands by consumers and competitive pressures, the U.S. based "Big 3" automakers have taken action to direct their suppliers to comply with the international automobile standard ISO/TS16949.

Ensuring a global consistency requires reliable and continuous control of all organizational Processes, ISO/TS 16949 is an ISO Technical Specification which aligns existing U.S, German, French and Italian automotive quality system standards within the global automotive industry. ISO TS16949 specifies the quality system requirements for the design/development, production, installation and servicing of automotive-related products and is designed to help global suppliers meet increasingly difficult industry standards and expectations.
