ISO/TS 16949:2002

The ISO/TS 16949 was jointly developed by the IATF (International Automotive Task Force) members and submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for approval and publication. The document is a common automotive quality system requirements catalog based on ISO 9001:2000, AVSQ (Italian), EAQF (French), QS-9000 (U.S.) and VDA6.1 (German) automotive catalogs. This document, coupled with customer-specific requirements defines quality system requirements for use in the automotive supply chain.
The IATF has developed a common registration scheme for supplier 3rd party registration to the ISO/TS 16949. The registration scheme includes third party auditor qualifications and common rules for consistent global registration.
Some of the benefits of the IATF registration scheme include:

Improved product and process quality

Additional confidence for global sourcing

Reassignment of supplier resources to quality improvement

Common quality system approach in the supply chain for supplier/subcontractor development and consistency

Reduction in multiple 3rd party registrations.
