ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an international Quality Management System automotive "sector-specific" technical specification based on ISO 9001:2000, QS-9000 and several other international automotive requirements. ISO/TS 16949:2002 was developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA), in conjunction with the international standards community. This technical specification, when coupled with the applicable IATF customer-specific requirements, and IATF-specific auditing and qualification procedures, provides the basis for an IATF- recognized registrar such as SRI to certify Shiloh Industries.
