Contact SupplierThe ISO/TS 16949 was jointly developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), whose vehicle manufacturer members include: BMW, Daimler-Chrysler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors (including Opel Vauxhall), PSA Peugeot-Citron, Renault SA, Volkswagon and their respective trade associations - AIAG (USA), ANFIA (Italy), FIEV (France), SMMT (UK) and VDA (Germany).
The newly formed International Automotive Oversight Bureau (IAOB) in Southfield, Michigan USA is responsible for the implementation and registration process of ISO/TS 16949 and providing support to the IATF. ISO/TS 16949 is an automotive quality system requirement catalogue based on ISO 9001:2000, QS9000 3rd Edition (U.S.), AVSQ (Italian), EAQF (French) and VDA6.1 (German) automotive catalogues.
ISO/TS 16949, when coupled with customer specific requirement, will be recognised by IATF members as the global equivalent to the existing automotive standards. This would benefit those companies who trade with multiple International Automotive Companies. However, those companies who deal solely with North America and Europe vehicle manufacturers need only certify to ISO/TS16949. N.B. ISO/TS 16949: 2002 does not replace QS9000, AVSQ, EAQF, VDA6.1. Tooling & Equipment suppliers should continue to use Quality System Requirements TE supplement second edition.

Suppliers are required to transition to ISO/TS 16949 by December 14th 2006 or as specified by their customer. The weakest part of QS9000 was the implementation of the standard, both from a supplier and registrar's perspective.
