If a company becomes TS 16949 certified does it still need ISO 9001 certification?

[guruprasadb]

to my knowledge at present there is no possiblity for split scope in certification

Is both units manufacturing the similar components?

We have two units in single premises. One unit is certified for ISO 9001:2008 certification & suppling to Agriculture & Constructions sector.Other unit is manufacturing the Gear components ISO/TS 16949 certified suppling to Automotive sector.
Recently our corporate office has taken decision to make the merger of two units in single.
We have following queries:
1. Can we put both units scope under single certificate.
2. How will be the documents.

Why not ask your CB (not the auditor)?

If your potential customer is a Public Sector Purchaser by Tendering, generally in India, the Tender documents specify Quality system certified to ISO 9000 (latest version). In such specific instances, ISO/TS 16949 will not be accepted. (Tender disqualification).
All explanations that there exists a relation between ISO 9k and ISO/TS 16949 will not be accepted.
