ISO/TS 16949 Certification – Automotive Quality Management

Drive Excellence with ISO/TS 16949 Certification

ISO/TS 16949 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) in the automotive industry. Developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in collaboration with ISO, this technical specification aims to harmonize quality systems across the automotive supply chain—improving product quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Although ISO/TS 16949 has now been replaced by IATF 16949, many still refer to it by its former name. The principles, however, remain focused on delivering a consistent, high-quality output and supporting continuous improvement throughout the supply chain.

What Is ISO/TS 16949?

ISO/TS 16949 integrates the requirements of ISO 9001 with additional automotive-specific quality standards. It emphasizes defect prevention, waste reduction, and continuous improvement, making it a cornerstone for manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive sector.

This standard applies to any organization that manufactures components, assemblies, or parts for supply to the automotive industry.
