ISO TS 16949 Certification

ETIK-OUEST is one of the very first French companies in the label market to obtain ISO TS 16949 certification.
Since 2006, ETIK OUEST has obtained ISO TS 16949 certification, continuation of the ISO 9001 norm.
ISO TS 16949 is a range of particular requirements for standard production and the spare parts in the automotive industry.

Why certification ?

Nowadays, in order to be included into the file of the potential providers of automotive companies, one must necessarily fill the condition of a ISO TS 16949 certification, which is a proof of the whole quality system.
This norm responds to the demands of automakers and ensures them an international acknowledgment. Through this certification, Etik Ouest wants to follow the automotive industry engagements, mastering the effects of its activities on the environment and on its personnel.

What are the advantages for the company ?

This norm aligns international requirements of the automotive quality system in order to provide the following advantages:

• A better analysis and follow up of the research and development files.
• A more effective and flexible client oriented process.
• A frame to manage and improve operations.
• Being acknowledged by companies of the automotive sector.

What are the advantages for clients ?

This certification takes into account specific demands of clients, dictated by subscribing automakers.

• Diminution of quantity gaps and increase of performance.
• Common language promoting the comprehension of quality requirements.
• Improvement of the quality of products and processes.
• Redeployment of supply resources towards new quantity strategies.
• Application of a common strategy to strengthen growth and to strengthen the coherence of the supply chain as a whole.

What are the changes for the company and its employees?

The company itself benefits from this norm, because ISO TS allows a better organisation and more structuring, thanks to stages of supplementary validation. Today, there is more follow up of the research and development service, with the possibility of starting a larger number of files and of better analysing them.

What does this bring to the other branches of industry?

Manufacturers as a whole benefit from the advantages of the clients of the automotive industry. Cases are better followed up and they benefit from validation stages which guarantee an improved global audit.
