TopQM-Systems has been auditing major automotive manufacturers and automotive suppliers worldwide in the area of technical cleanliness for many years, in accordance with the ISO 16232 and VDA 19.1 (formerly VDA 19) / VDA 19.2 guidelines and ZVEI guidelines, as well as customer-specific factory standards. Many major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers rely on our many years of experience in the automotive industry.
Technical cleanliness audits, known as cleanliness audits, are carried out to verify compliance with certain cleanliness requirements for assemblies. VDA Volume 19.1 (formerly VDA 19) and VDA Volume 19 Part 2 (VDA 19.2) serve as the basis for this. This so-called cleanliness audit is used to ensure quality, especially for complex and sensitive components.
The cleanliness requirements for technical assemblies are increasingly becoming an ever more important and decisive quality feature. Often it is not enough just to create the technical conditions, but to preventively include the complete
in the risk assessment. The success in mastering processes with TechSa requirements lies in the recognition of sources of contamination and systematic preventive work. The aim is to minimize and prevent particle contamination from the aforementioned sources in
We carry out cleanliness audits at your locations worldwide, or directly at your suppliers. Our qualified TechSa experts are also available to work for you in Asia.
ISO 16232, “Road vehicles – Cleanliness of components of fluid circuits”, is the international counterpart to VDA Volume 19.1 (formerly VDA 19). The guideline for VDA 19.1 contains the conditions for application and documentation to determine the particle contamination on functionally relevant components in the automotive industry.
