ISO 9001 Quality Certification
There are five main clauses within ISO 9001 (ISO9001:2008), as opposed to the twenty clauses included in the 1994 version of the standard. The aim is to make the latest version of the standard more appropriate to the needs of all organisations, whether product or service based. The structure now also reflects the "Plan, Do Check, Act (PDCA)" cycle, already introduced in the ISO 14001 standard and the OHSAS 18001:2007 specification.
The five main sections of the standard are:
Quality Management System
Management Responsibilities
Resource Management
Product Realisation
Measurement analysis and improvement
ISO/TS 16949 - Automotive Quality Certification
ISO/TS 16949 was developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), in cooperation with the International Standards Organisation (ISO). The aim of this standard is to provide harmonised quality systems within the automotive supply chain, resulting in a focused and consistent approach. The standard is based on the structure of ISO 9001 and the specific requirements of the automotive quality standard. ISO/TS 16949:2009 aligns with ISO 9001:2008.
Key points include:
Improved product and process quality
Additional confidence for global sourcing
Reassignment of supplier resources to quality improvement
Common quality system approach in the supply chain for supplier/sub-contractor development and consistency
Reduction in multiple 3rd party registrations
