ISO/TS 16949 (Automotive)
ISO/TS 16949 is a Technical Specification not an ISO standard. The International Automotive Task Force (IATF), which consists of an international group of vehicle manufacturers, wrote ISO/TS 16949 in conjunction with the International Organization for Standards (ISO). This specification aligns existing American (QS-9000), German (VDA6.1), French (EAQF) and Italian (AVSQ) automotive quality systems standards within the global automotive industry. Encompassed within the ISO/TS 16949 specification is the complete ISO 9001:2000 standard. The additional portions of the ISO/TS 16949 standard contain specific requirements for automotive suppliers. The main goal of both standards is to achieve improved customer satisfaction. This specification is applicable to automotive suppliers that manufacture “parts that go on cars”. It is also applicable to organizations in the automotive supply chain where value added manufacturing processes occur such as heat treating, welding, painting, plating and finishing services.

AS9100 (Aerospace)
AS9100 is an international aerospace standard for quality assurance, development, production, installation, and servicing. AS9100 is based around the popular ISO9001:2000. The key difference between the two is the supplements to ISO9001:2000 in order to satisfy internal, governmental, and regulatory requirements. AS9100 was developed to satisfy the higher expectations for companies supplying the aerospace industry facing a complex global marketplace. Worldwide, this industry is affected by multiple regulatory systems, stringent requirements, and intense levels of competition. AS9100 is the first single standard accepted and available for use across the global aerospace community.

ISO 9001 (International)
ISO9001:2000 quality management system standard provides guidelines for performance improvement of quality management systems that ultimately generate value to the end use customer. The 2000 revision of the ISO9000 standard now focuses on continuous improvement through a process-based approach. This approach provides a quality management system that more closely matches the business needs of the operation.
