Hello to Everyone,
It is the new year and our customers are gearing up for their surveillance audits. We do not have ISO or TS at this time. My company supplies steel to a part maker for the Big 3.
Question 1. Why does the IATF Guidance Manual to ISO/TS16949:2002 contradict what is being said about the requirement for Suppliers to have ISO certification? See quote below. It looks like 'evidence of a plan to be certified' is the minimum necessary.
Question 2. Which customer are they talking about? Big 3 or the part maker that supplies to the Big 3.
Question 3. If a company is audited by their registrar and the registrar finds that the company is dealing with a supplier that does not have ISO or TS certification, what happens to the company?
Question 4. What about new companies that want to be part of the automotive supply chain? Does this mean that any new company is out of luck when it comes to supplying for automotive until they are certified?
From the IATF Guidance Manual to ISO/TS16949:2002 page 18:
Supplier quality management system development is the demonstrated performance of a process with the goal to achieve conformity with ISO/TS16949:2002. Indicators of performance include:
- conformity with ISO9001:2000
- achievement of ISO9001:2000 certification, as a minimum, unless otherwise specified by the customer,
- compliance with ISO/TS61949:2002, unless otherwise specified by the customer,
- EVIDENCE OF A PROCESS TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE STEPS
