The TS-16949 Standard is an ISO Technical Specification that defines the quality system requirements for the design/development, production, installation, and servicing of automotive-related products. It was written by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in conjunction with the International Standardization Organization (ISO). The IATF consists of an international group of vehicle manufacturers and national trade associations. The TS-16949 has been adopted by the American automotive industry and its suppliers. A supplier-firm that implements and complies with TS-16949 can satisfy customers’ quality assurance requirements and increase customer confidence in the quality of its products and/or service.

TS-16949 Awareness provides an executive overview of the standard that outlines its requirements and their interpretations; the principles and concepts represented; and how the organization may address them.

TS-16949 Documentation will show how to write a procedure consistent with the standard, develop an implementation plan and how to write a Quality Manual based on the elements of TS-16949 and related procedures for compliance with the standard.
