Do the numbers 13496 or 16937 mean anything to you?

Got an email from a recruiter for a medical device company and she asked is I have any experience with this TS13496 and TS16937.
Never heard of them, and google gives me nothing. Nor does a forum search.

She also asked if I had any experience with ISO9002....

Either a really bad recruiter looking for medical and automotive specs, or a really bad scam artist trying to get your personal info. I get tons of garbage e-mails from recruiters. Some seem to be in India or other low cost countries and pull your data off careerbuilder/monster/etc. and try to match it up with existing job postings online, hoping to grab a commission.

I have never heard of those two, and a quick search of Techstreet shows a couple of things BS EN 13496:2002 -- Thermal insulation products for building applications. Determination of the mechanical properties of glass fibre meshes and ISO 13496:2000 -- Meat and meat products - Detection of colouring agents - Method using thin-layer chromatography

DIN 16937 -- Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) waterproofing sheet compatible with bitumen; requirements

So, I am not sure. But also keep in mind that ISO 9002 has been obsolete for a while, so I am not sure where the recruiter was going.

She's a local, Tom. I think she has bad info from her client.
As evidenced by the ISO9002 question.
I pointed out that it's been obsolete for quite a while.

They are remarkably close to ISO 13485 and ISO/TS 16949...
yeah, I caught the 13485 similarity.. but TS 16949 is automotive.
Maybe they're applying it to medical device supply chain.
*shrug*

I'll let you all know if I get to the bottom of it.

Well, TS is remarkably similar to 13485 and someone with TS experience might/could make the transition...

The possibility of ISO 13485 and TS 16949 is evident. However, there is one ISO 13496 on Meat and Meat Products

Btw, did she tell name of the organization or industry ?

Are you sure that iso 9002 has been replaced, i think that it may be 9001 that you are thinking of?
