Quality systems
Fairchild Semiconductor establishes quality systems to ensure that its products
conform to specified requirements. These systems are documented in the corporate
Quality Manual and in other business group and quality manual addenda as
appropriate. The defined quality systems are intended to be ISO 9000 compliant
(ISO9001:2000) and to meet TS16949:2002 (second edition) requirements for
those Fairchild groups and sites that are certified to this international
automotive standard. Documented procedures for Fairchild's quality system
are implemented and are consistent with the Fairchild Quality Manual (PDF)
and other appropriate international standards.
