CQI-15 Welding System Assessment

Significance and Application of CQI-15 Welding System Assessment

The new AIAG CQI-15 2nd edition was released in October 2019.

The North American automotive association AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) is publisher of the CQI standards (Continuous Quality Improvement). CQI-15 is a self-assessment regarding the welding processes and must be carried out at least once a year.

This standard is an appendix to IATF 16949 under „customer-specific requirements“ and is valid for all automotive suppliers globally that have entered into a contractual agreement regarding purchasing, supply and quality throughout the supply chain.

As a long standing member of the AIAG, TopQM-Systems already specialized early on in the introduction, development and qualification of employees, as well as auditor training according to the rules of AIAG for CQI-15 welding processes in the European and global automotive supplier markets.

 

The CQI-15 2nd Edition Welding System Assessment was published in October 2019.

The new CQI-15 standard can be purchased directly from AIAG.

You have the option of setting the standard as

  • E-Document including assessment or as
  • Hard copy/print version downloadable assessment.

We are licensed trainingpartner of the AIAG in Europe.
