On November 27, 2024, China Quality Certification Centre (CQC) and VDA Quality Management Center (VDA QMC) signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing, making CQC the first domestic certification body in China authorized to conduct VDA6.2 and VDA6.4 certifications. Liu Gang, Deputy Managing Director of CQC, and Norbert Hass, Global Oversight Supervisor of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and Responsible Person of VDA QMC attended the signing ceremony.

The VDA6 series of standards are supplementary to the ISO 9001 quality management standards. Specifically, VDA6.2 outlines special requirements for quality management systems in service organizations within the automotive industry, while VDA6.4 details special requirements for quality management systems in manufacturers of production equipment for the automotive industry. Adhering to these standards facilitates better collaboration among all parties involved. Obtaining VDA6.2 and VDA6.4 certifications serves as an important reference for automobile manufacturers and their suppliers in selecting suitable service organizations and equipment manufacturers.

During the exchange, both parties conducted in-depth discussions on the promotion of the cooperation project and formulated a promotion plan. Looking forward, CQC and VDA QMC will seize this opportunity for cooperation to leverage each other's strengths and engage in deeper collaboration in the field of automotive quality management. This will contribute to enhancing the quality of automotive products and the reliability of production processes, as well as supporting Chinese enterprises in successfully expanding globally.
