Re: If a company becomes TS 16949 certified does it still need ISO 9001 certification
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.
