ISO/TS 16949:2002
What is ISO/TS 16949?
ISO/TS 16949 is a worldwide automotive technical specification. ISO/TS 16949:2002 (TS-2) is based on ISO 9001:2000, but with adders to address automotive requirements. Along with customer-specific requirements, it defines quality system requirements for use in the automotive supply chain around the world.
Can anyone get ISO/TS 16949 Registered?
NO. In order to for an organization to become ISO/TS 16949 registered it must meet one of the following conditions:
- The organization must supply to a TS 16949 OEM members (BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, PSA, Renault, Volkswagen AG).
- The organization is in the automotive supply chain (any tier) of an OEM member.
- The organization is a potential supplier to an OEM member / subscribing customer. Evidence of being a potential supplier to a customer requiring TS-could include a Request For Quotation issued to the organization or the organization being on a current bid list of the TS-2 subscribing customer.
ISO/TS 16949:2002 is relevant to automotive production and service part organizations only. Distributors cannot be registered to TS-2.
