1. Introduction to ISO/TS16949 (IATF16949) Certification
Since the automotive supplier has passed the QS-9000 or VDA6.1 quality system certification, its certificate is not recognized and recognized by all countries in the world (to date, the three major US automobile factories and Germany, France, Italy) OEMs only agree on "internal audit" (QS-9000 element 4.17) and "sub-contractor development" (4.6.2.1 in QS-9000 element 4.6), and neither QS-9000 nor VDA6.1 are Issued by the International Standards Organization (ISO).
In order to reduce unnecessary waste of resources for automotive suppliers and facilitate the implementation of the global procurement strategy of the automotive company, representatives of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and ISO/TC176, the Quality Management and Quality Assurance Committee and its subcommittees are in ISO9001:1994. Based on the quality system of QS-9000, VDA6.1, EAQF (France) 94 and AVSQ (Italy) 95, the ISO/TS16949 technical specification was formulated and promulgated on January 1, 1999. The issue is applicable.
The ISO/TS16949 technical specification has been approved by the ISO Technical Committee 2/3 Member States and is reviewed by the ISO Technical Committee every three years to determine whether it can be converted to an international standard.
The ISO/TS16949 technical specification complies with the automotive quality system requirements currently in use in the global automotive industry and avoids multiple certification audits. The ISO/TS16949 technical specification is available for temporary use in the automotive industry to collect information and experience in use.
In the ISO/TS16949 technical specification, the boxed text is ISO copyright and is derived from the original text of ISO 9001:1994 clause 4 and Appendix A. Industry specific supplemental requirements are outside the box.
In order to obtain the ISO/TS16949 technical specification certification from the members of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), the ISO Technical Committee has developed a globally uniform certification scheme (ISO/TS16949 automotive certification scheme and guidelines for achieving IATF accreditation) and Requirements must be followed. If there are customer specific requirements that supplement the ISO/TS16949 technical specification, they must be included in the audit to obtain the customer's approval of the ISO/TS16949 technical specification certification.

2. Features of ISO/TS16949 (IATF16949)

ISO/TS16949 is the technical specification of the international automotive industry. It is based on ISO9001 and incorporates technical specifications for the automotive industry. This specification is fully consistent with ISO 9000:2000, but focuses more on defect prevention and reduces the quality fluctuations and waste that are easily generated in the automotive parts supply chain.
ISO/TS16949 is a technical specification for the international automotive industry with a clear focus on its applicability and applicability: this specification applies only to automotive OEMs and their direct spare parts manufacturers. These manufacturers must be directly related to the production of automobiles, can carry out processing and manufacturing activities, and through this activity, the products can add value. There are strict limits on the qualifications of certified companies. Units that only have support functions, such as design centers, corporate headquarters, and distribution centers, cannot independently obtain ISO/TS16949:2002 certification. Manufacturers who manufacture equipment and tools for OEMs or auto parts manufacturers are also not certified to ISO/TS16949:2002. Therefore, the implementation of ISO/TS16949:2002 will have a direct impact on the three major auto companies and their spare parts manufacturing suppliers.
ISO/TS16949 pays special attention to the finished product of the manufacturer and the quality system capability to achieve this finished product. It believes that this is the basis of the entire manufacturing process. Another feature is that it pays special attention to the effectiveness of an organization's quality management system.
Since ISO/TS16949:2002 already contains all the contents of ISO9001:2000, it has obtained the ISO/TS16949:2000 certification, which also marks the ISO9001:2000 standard. ISO/TS16949 is the technical specification of the international automotive industry and is based on ISO9001. , added the technical specifications of the automotive industry. This specification is fully consistent with ISO 9000:2000, but focuses more on defect prevention and reduces the quality fluctuations and waste that are easily generated in the automotive parts supply chain.
One of the main features of ISO/TS16949:2002 is that it is a single global quality system standard and registration process recognized by the IATF. Mutual recognition will reduce the review of second parties and third parties, saving manufacturers money. In addition, TS16949 is more focused on process review than document review.

3. Benefits of ISO/TS16949

1. Promote the improvement of product and process quality.
2. Integrating the best experience of the global automotive kingdom
3. Increase global supplier confidence
4. Ensure global consistency of the quality system of supplier/sub-supplier services in the supply chain
5. Reduce change and waste, and improve production efficiency in an all-round way.
6. Reduce the number of second party audits.
7. Eliminate the need for repeated third-party audits.
8. Provide a common platform for the quality system needs of the world.
9. Formatted for easy conversion to ISO9001/2000.
10. Conducive to the upgrade of the existing quality system.
