What is ISO/TS 16949?

The standard forms the requirements for the application of ISO 9001 for
automotive production and relevant service part organizations.

Why does it matter to me, a fastener distributor, that Stelfast® is certified to ISO/TS16949?

The TS certification benefits all of Stelfast’s customers. Many customers
of Stelfast’s Industrial Division do not sell automotive, but they do benefit
from TS procedures and the culture of continuous improvement that
exists at Stelfast®. What customers recognize is that they are not getting
errors in shipments. They’re not receiving short orders. And Stelfast’s
service levels, tracking, and other QC controls are second to none.
They’re getting quality fasteners and a quality shipment. Every time.
