ISO/TS 16949 for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs)

This international standard is designed for your business. ISO/TS 16949 outlines effective quality management for all automotive companies – whether your organisation is multi-national or operates from a single site. And small businesses can open up international trade opportunities by introducing ISO/TS 16949 to the way they work.

You can prioritise quality with ISO/TS 16949. The international technical specification can bring the best processes and controls to your business – even if you have less time and a tighter budget to work with. That’s because we understand how to overcome these challenges. We can help you adapt ISO/TS 16949 to your needs with a package that’s customised for your business. This only includes the products and services you need so we can cut the unnecessary cost and complexity of working with ISO/TS 16949. You will discover how the standard helps you to continually improve and stay competitive by adopting more efficient ways of working. And improved processes lead to a better quality of product. In fact, the standard will show you how to make changes for the better across all areas of your business. Especially as an ISO/TS 16949 management system can be integrated with ISO 9001 Quality Management, 14001 Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management.  

We’re open to suggestions for new standards and take these to consultation with industry associations or equivalent organisations. We make sure we get the standards right by working with representatives from consumer organisations; professional institutions; certification, testing and inspection bodies; educational establishments; research organisations; UK notified bodies; enforcement bodies; and government departments.
