Certification according to VDA 6.2
Quality certification for service providers in the automotive industry
The automotive and supplier industry expects high quality, reliability and flexibility from its service providers. The VDA 6.2 rulebook covers all requirements for service providers in the automotive industry.
With our VDA 6.2 certification, you can demonstrate your fulfillment of the quality requirements for your processes and products and thereby increase your customers’ satisfaction.
Successful VDA 6.2 Certification in just a few steps
The German Association of the Automotive Industry, VDA for short, has developed the VDA 6.x standards; these standards form the regulatory framework for the German automotive industry. The VDA Volume 6 Part 2 Standard, “QM System Audit Services,” is aimed specifically at internal and external service companies in the automotive industry, such as car dealerships, garages, engineering firms, freight forwarders, etc.
As the content of VDA 6.2 corresponds to ISO 9001, the VDA certificate also includes ISO 9001. This allows the quality management to be optimally adapted and improved in accordance with your company’s circumstances and needs. We can also provide you with a separate ISO 9001 certificate upon request.
