No politics here Manix.

Please note that TS stands for "Technical SPECIFICATION". It is not a STANDARD yet. That means it has not drawn sufficient number of votes in the committee to qualify as a STANDARD. (Pl go througf the Foreword).

Yes, A common global standard is a preferred option by all (including VW and whoever else maybe causing such troublesome situations), everybody is working towards it but unfortunately, that milestone is yet to be reached.

Lets hope we all (the committee!!) reach there fast enough and these issues are buried forever.
What I meant by the politics, is if you refer to Formel Q, (the latest document), it clearly states that a supplier must have either VDA6.1 or TS16949. Yet speaking to a VW bod (and in first hand experience), he says that if a buyer wants VDA6.1 then unless you have it, they are not interested in your supply.

If individuals are ignoring written statements made by their organisation, that is POLITICS and a resistance to change, that so often comes with this negative kind of POLITICS :mad: .

Thank you for your info on the status of TS etc....

In terms of the way that ISO classifies documents, you're certainly correct, but in practical terms, as soon as a large OEM requires conformance to the requirements laid out in any codified document, it becomes a standard in practical terms, regardless of what anyone else chooses to call it. Referring to 16949 as a "standard" doesn't mean that anything important information is being lost.

You nailed it Jim. Here the OEM (VM) is not agreeing with conformance to TS. Thats why its not acceptable yet as a standard. And there seem to be a sufficint number of such OEMs (their associations) in the committee to block its recognition as a standard. Its been standing for quite too long as a specification for everybody's comfort.

Any insider comments?
