Maintaining ISO 9001 and TS 16949

Answer:

Having TS 16949 implies that you have ISO 9001:2008 since TS 16949 is based on ISO 9001 and includes all its requirements plus automotive industry specific requirements. Many certification bodies issue both ISO 9001 and TS 16949 certificates once you pass TS 16949 certification audit.

Both ISO 9001 and TS 16949 have new versions published in last two years and organizations that want to maintain their certificates must conduct the transition of their QMS (Quality Management System) to maintain compliance with the standards and keep their certificates.
