First welcome to the cove :bigwave:

Here is a thread that you can look at and review. Under normal circumstances there are threads that have addressed these questions.

I understand that you are new and these are just pointers to help you get the most out of the cove.

It's interesting that BSi has this page (http://www.bsiamericas.com/Automotive/Standards/index.xalter) on its website that says:
There are several international standards for suppliers of the automotive industry. BSI has all of the standards available for you to purchase including:

ISO/TS16949 - ISO Technical Specification aligning existing automotive quality system requirements within the automotive industry.
QS-9000 - Requirements developed by Daimler-Chrysler, Ford and General Motors based on ISO 9000.
TE Supplement - Tooling and Equipment Supplement of QS-9000.
VDA 6.1 - Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V - the German automotive quality standard
ISO 14001:1996 - Environmental Management Systems - Specification with guidance for use.But if you follow the link provided, only TS16949 is available.

Randy, can you fix this, please? :cool: :D

To fix the list or the text?

There are several international standards for suppliers of the automotive industry. BSI has all of the standards available for you to purchase including:

* ISO/TS16949 - ISO Technical Specification aligning existing automotive quality system requirements within the automotive industry.
* QS-9000 - Requirements developed by Daimler-Chrysler, Ford and General Motors based on ISO 9000.
* TE Supplement - Tooling and Equipment Supplement of QS-9000.
* VDA 6.1 - Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V - the German automotive quality standard
* ISO 14001:1996 - Environmental Management Systems - Specification with guidance for use
The folowing are not international standards:frust:
* QS-9000 - Requirements developed by Daimler-Chrysler, Ford and General Motors based on ISO 9000.
* TE Supplement - Tooling and Equipment Supplement of QS-9000.
* VDA 6.1 - Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V - the German automotive quality standard

"International standard" means whatever the person saying it wants it to mean. All of the documents above are in use internationally (i.e., their use isn't restricted to a single country), and they're all "standards."

You're serious, right?:(

I can't hardly get them to fix my schedule. :frust:

I could forward this to the UK (I wouldn't know where to start).:lol:

BSI's London office has a "worldwide standards" section which claims to be available to sell VDA 6.1 but German language only.
