VDA 6.1 is not "essential" anymore as ISO TS 16949 is accepted instead.

The other ones mentioned in Marc's list are specific for the German automotive market.

Yup - I was just doing some cleaning and such and something came up where I was looking at this forum and figured I'd throw in a quick reference of the 5 VDA standards that are applicable here. I know they're not applicable to most folks here, but for those browsing who come across this forum and are curious about what the VDA standards are, I figured this might give some basic information.

I should have included these:

Verband der Automobilindustrie e. V. - The German Association of the Automobile Industry (VDA)

The Verband der Automobilindustrie e. V. (VDA) is a German interest group of the German automobile industry, both automobile manufactures and automobile component suppliers. The group is located in Frankfurt, Germany. Current president since June 1, 2007 is the former federal minister of transport Matthias Wissmann. The VDA is hosting the world's largest motor show, the biannual Internationale Automobilausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt.

The VDA published a series of standards and recommendations. Among those is the German Quality Management System (QMS) for the automobile industry. The fourth edition was issued in December 1998, and became mandatory for all German car makers on April 1, 1999.

VDA 6.3 (and variation of this standard) is used worldwide by automotive companies with German origin and adapted by companies that supply German car manufacturers such as Volkswagen.

VDA 6.3 is a format for process audits and is used by a number of companies that are certificated to TS.

There is no obligation to use this format if you are not required by a customer.
For more details see this search or these attachments (They might be out of date )
 
Please, about POTENTIAL ANALYSIS included in VDA 6.3 why the number of question in the check list (see paragraph 7.1) are 38, while in the paragraph 9.2 with the Excel Potential Analysi the questions indicated there are 36 ?
Why this difference? Thank you
