Has anyone here gone through a German VDE factory certification audit?

I just found out that our facility is going to have to go through one of these audits and it appears to be structured like an ISO9000 audit. I am mostly curious if anyone has ever gone through one of these audits and how did it go? What was your experience?

Do you mean VDA?
This is the German automotive standard.,
It is based on ISO 9001:1994 with additions for the automotive industry

There are comparison matrices here Various Comparison Matrices - TS 16949 vs. QS 9000 vs. VDA 6.1

VDA 6.1 is the system audit
VDA 6.3 is the process audit look here for details
Does anyone have a standard VDA 6.3 excel .xls template / form?

I'm guessing Andy means:

VERBAND DER ELEKTROTECHNIK ELEKTRONIK INFORMATIONSTECHNIK eV

A sort of UL for Germany.......

Friends,

VDE = Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik

Here is a link to their site. Impressive organization.

P.S. A few of us have knocked on their door this afternoon....;)

A great site, and choices of languages.

Re: VDE Audit Experiences

Hi andy

I have personnel experience on the VDE auditing ( factory Visit ).

In summary , the audit is to ensure the product you planned to certified are having a good "controlled". It much similar like ISO 9001 or VDA 6.3 process auditing but the emphais is on the traceability and inspection / testing of the product.

the VDE have some guideline of the factory visit / audit. I will try to search and try to post the summary on net in future. Hope this can help.
