SMK Certifed for ISO/TS169490

April, 2009 SMK's line of touch panels for car navigation systems produced in our Philippines factory was certified according to ISO/TS16949, the international standards of quality management for automotive-related products. 

ISO/TS16949 is an expansion of ISO 9001, an international standard for quality management systems, with requirements unique to automotive applications added. Acquisition of the certification is now a common requirement that many automakers require of their suppliers.

 

This certification is the direct result of efforts promoted by our factories who had to acquire various certifications related to international standards for quality management systems.

ISO 9000 certified manufacturing sites are focused on "quality management". Key components to compliancy include: fulfilling applicable regulatory requirements, the customer's quality requirements, to enhance customer satisfaction, and continued improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.

The ISO 14000 certified factories are concerned with "environmental management". The organization goals are to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and to achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.
