Certification to ISO/TS 16949

Demonstrate that you manage and deliver quality every day. Get certified to ISO/TS 16949 quality management and you will open up global business opportunities. The standard is a business requirement for international trade, which wins you the recognition you need to grow, compete and succeed.

We make the certification process simple. After we have received your application, we appoint a client manager who will guide you and your business through the following steps.

1. Gap analysis 
   This is an optional pre-assessment service where we take a closer look at your existing quality management and compare it with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. This helps identity areas that need more work before we carry out a formal assessment, saving you time and money.
2. Formal assessment 
   This happens in two stages. First we review your organization readiness for assessment by checking if the necessary ISO/TS 16949 procedures and controls have been developed. We will share the details of our findings with you so that if we find gaps, you can close them. If all the requirements are in place, we will then assess the implementation of the procedures and controls within your organization to make sure that they are working effectively as required for certification.
3. Certification and beyond 
   When you have passed the formal assessment you will receive an ISO/TS 16949 certificate, which is valid for three years. Your client manager will stay in touch during this time, paying you regular visits to make sure your system doesn’t just remain compliant, but that it continually improves. 

We pioneered standards more than 100 years ago and today we’re the market leader. We help over 65,000 organizations ranging from top global brands to small ambitious businesses in 150 countries to gain an edge over their competitors. As one of the few organizations that understands standards from start to finish, we don’t only assess how well you’re meeting the standards, but also we create new standards from scratch and train teams globally to use them and perform better. Our knowledge can transform your organization.
