CQI-12 Coating System Assessment

Significance and Application of CQI-12 Coating System Assessment

The new AIAG CQI-12 3rd edition was released in June 2020. See further below the new build-up and essential content as well as the new process tables of the 3rd edition.

The North American automotive association AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) is publisher of the CQI standards (Continuous Quality Improvement). CQI-12 Coating System Assessment is a self-assessment of the Coating system regarding galvanic Coating and must be carried out at least once a year.

This standard is an appendix to IATF16949 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 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 the AIAG for CQI-12 Coating processes in the European and global automotive supplier markets.
