Jaguar, LR, gain quality cert

10 April 2003: Jaguar and Land Rover have been granted the quality standard ISO/TS16949:2002 certification from the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA).
They are the first vehicle manufacturers in Europe to achieve certification to the new global automotive quality system standard.

VCA’s Chief Executive Derek Harvey recently handed over a certificate and plaque of recognition to Jaguar and Land Rover’s Chairman and CEO Bob Dover.
The certification followed a series of system reviews and on-site audits by VCA’s experienced auditors and by the British Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The SMMT is the appointed oversight body in the UK for the ISO/TS 16949 certification scheme.
