Coverking pioneered ISO Quality Standards
in the Automotive Softgoods Accessory market

Coverking was the first Automotive Softgoods Aftermarket manufacturer to gain ISO Quality Certification. After Coverking set the bar by gaining the strict ISO:9001 certification, other manufacturers were forced to improve their quality systems. Coverking continues it's lead, having attained QS:9000 and TS16949 certifications.

What is the TS16949 Quality System?

ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an International Standards Organization Technical Specification, which aligns existing American (QS-9000), German (VDA6.1), French (EAQF) and Italian (AVSQ) quality systems standards, with the aim of eliminating the need for multiple certifications to satisfy multiple customer requirements. Together with ISO 9001:2000, ISO/TS 16949:2002 specifies the quality system requirements for the design/development, production, installation and servicing of products. In addition, there are customer specific requirements that are required by individual subscribing vehicle manufacturers.

Why produce such a high level of quality for products such as seat covers, car covers and dash covers?

To some, the expense, time and effort spent attaining these quality standards seems overkill for the products they manufacture. Coverking is Passionate about their products - they use them and continue to improve them. Everything from their fabrics, their patterns, and their production processes are continually improving. The only downside of purchasing a Coverking product is that it will most likely fit better, be made of superior materials, and cost less in a year's time.
