Quality

The competitiveness and position of the Schaeffler Group on the world market is decisively determined by the quality of its products. In this context, the perfect condition and reliability of the products and services purchased from suppliers have a pivotal influence on the highly technical production processes and the quality of the manufactured products. The quality requirements of the Schaeffler Group to its suppliers and sub-suppliers (customer-specific requirements) have been summarized below based on international quality standards. The listed quality assurance agreements are a summary of international quality standards and Schaeffler's requirements going beyond these. These are the foundation for cooperation and serve to pass on customer-specific requirements that must be complied with. It is therefore necessary to complete a quality assurance agreement.

Details of individual methods, their depth of application and, if necessary, individual templates are regulated by these quality standards. These reflect the current state of technical know-how, which could change at any time, therefore the contents are adapted when necessary. For new orders or projects, we expect the application of the latest standards provided here (unless other individual agreements have been made) without renewal of the above-mentioned quality assurance agreement.

These quality standards are controlled documents and are subject to the revision service. The current valid version is always available on this website.
