Certification ISO 16949: Automotive quality management

ISO 16949: Automotive quality management introduces a framework for automotive quality management. Key areas include process consistency, defect prevention and supplier quality. It is relevant to quality managers, manufacturing engineers and automotive suppliers.

This catalogue entry retains the historical ISO/TS 16949 reference. It should not be confused with the current IATF 16949 framework. Use it to understand the development of automotive quality requirements and confirm the applicable standard before selecting an assessment.

Preparing for this pathway starts with your professional context. For a management system, useful evidence includes defined responsibilities, controlled processes and a regular review of performance. For a guidance standard, concentrate on how its recommendations inform decisions in the organisation’s own context.
