Transitioning to TS 16949

Introduction:

ISO formally announced that ISO/TS 16949:2002 was published on March 14, 2002.

It is expected that TS 16949 will become the common basis for the automotive industry's QMS requirements worldwide, gradually replacing the multiple national specs now used by the automotive sector. The exact date by which QS-9000 registered automotive suppliers will need to transition to the ISO 9001:2000 aligned set of requirements is specific to your customer; however, December 1996 is the latest. At that point QS will become obsolete.

This class is designed to assist companies currently registered to QS-9000 in upgrading their system to the ISO/TS 16949 standard.
