ISO/TS 16949:2017 Automotive
One of the older standards, ISO/TS 16949 refers to the automotive industry. TS stands for Technical Specification. Before the standard, suppliers were asked by car manufacturers to standardize to the regulations of each country, which often led to suppliers needing multiple certifications for the same vehicle.
According to the British Standards Institution (BSI), in 1999 the ISO/TS 16949 standard was created by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) to help streamline this process. It focuses on the avoidance of errors and defines the requirements for the development, production, and installation of automotive-related products. Today certification is required by almost all tier 1 companies, and in turn, many of them require their tier 2 and 3 suppliers to certify. The standard has over 50,000 certifications.
