TS 6001

TS 6001 addresses a quality assurance model used to demonstrate that a supplier is capable of meeting quality-system requirements for product design/development, production, plant, and service activities in a contractual relationship. It is the Turkish standard edition associated with the early ISO 9001 approach, focusing on how quality assurance is structured when design and supply are part of the agreement.

What this quality assurance model means

In general technical terms, quality assurance is broader than final inspection: it relies on planned, repeatable controls across the lifecycle of a product or service. Standards in this area typically help organisations define responsibilities, control processes, keep records, and communicate quality expectations consistently between customer and supplier. The aim is to support confidence that contractual requirements can be met in a controlled way.

How the scope is framed

• The scope is centred on proving supplier capability within a contract, rather than on end-product inspection alone.
• Design/development and production are treated together, reflecting a lifecycle view of quality from concept through manufacture.
• Plant and servicing are explicitly named, showing that supporting operations beyond the finished product also matter.
• This listing is a withdrawn standard record linked to the historical TS 6001 edition and the ISO 9001:1987 lineage.
