Does an ISO/TS 29001 certification take the place of an API Monogram audit?
No. The API Monogram audit includes not only auditing of the Quality Management System (API Q1 Seventh edition QMS is identical to ISO/TS 29001:2003) but also the capability to deliver product to specification. A ISO/TS 29001:2003 Certificate would attest that the Organization is operating a Quality Management System according to requirements of ISO/TS 29001:2003. API Monogram provides evidence that: 1) Products within the scope of the license are produced by an Organization operating a Quality Management System according to ISO/TS 29001:2003; 2) The product is manufactured in accordance with an API Product Specification.
