Chrysler specific: somewhere I read that all chrysler suppliers must be TS by july 2004. but now I can't find it.
I heard at their supplier training in april they said only tier 1 suppliers, didn't care about tier 2.
can that be correct?
thanks for your help

From the DaimlerChrysler - Specific requirements dated 1/7/03: All Production and Service Part organizations to DaimlerChrysler shall be Third-Party Registered to ISO/TS 16949 Second Edition by 4 July 2004."

This applies to those directly supplying to Chrysler. TS 16949:2002 requires that companies certified to that standard require their suppliers to be 3rd party certified to ISO 9001:2000 at a minimum (with a goal of compliance to TS 16949).

Oops, forgot the linky to the requirements (http://www.iaob.org/oem_req.html).
