What are QS-9000 standards?
The QS-9000 standards are the Automotive Industry Action Groups (AIAG) version of the ISO 9000 standards. Like the ISO 9000 standards, QS-9000 provides a generic core of quality system standards that apply to a broad range of industry and economic sectors. They offer guidance for quality management and general requirements for quality assurance. These standards describe elements that quality systems should include, but not how a specific organization should implement them. How an organization designs and implements a quality system is affected by its objectives, products, processes, and specific practices.
