ISO/TS 16949 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) technical specification for the development of a quality management systems. It provides for continual improvement of these systems, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. It is based on the ISO 9001 standard, with the first edition published in March 2002 as ISO/TS 16949:2002.[1] It was prepared by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the ISO Technical Committee with the intention of harmonizing the country-specific regulations of quality management systems.[2]

About 30 percent of the more than 100 existing automobile manufacturers affiliate to the requirements, with high-output Asian manufacturers using their own requirements for the quality management systems of their corporate group and their suppliers.

TS 16949 applies to the design, development, production and, when relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products. The requirements are intended to be applied throughout the supply chain, with vehicle assembly plants being encouraged to seek ISO/TS 16949 certification so as to improve system and process quality, to increase customer satisfaction, to identify problems and risks in production process and supply chain, and to take preventive measures to ensure effectiveness.[1]
