Hi everyone,
Some questions came to me lately regarding the compliance of ISO/ TS 16949 by suppliers/ sub-cons for semiconductor industry.
1) What is the latest version of the Customer Specific Requirements
(ISO/TS-16949) Semiconductor Commodity? The one that I downloaded from Elsmar is released in year 2004, any newer version release?
2) According to clause 7.4.1.2.S, the change made for the 1st note, does that mean for foundries industries only?
3) My understanding regarding to the entire clause (7.4.1.2.s) is that we need to ensure our suupliers (foundry, assembly, test processes and/ or raw material suppliers?) to comform to ISO/TS -16949:2002, including the Semiconductor Commodity Specifics. It says "conform" in the clause, so it doesn't mean the suppliers must be ISO/ TS 16949 certified, am I right?
4) If the 2004 version is the latest version, then why it still requires the supplier to conform to ISO/TS -16949:2002?
Appreciate your help on the questions above.
in advance!
