Quality & Lead-free (Pb-free): Texas Instruments Certifications

Texas Instruments sites first achieved the International Organization for Standardization´s (ISO) Quality Management System (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) Certifications in 1996 and has maintained compliance to the ISO requirements since that time. TI is also TS 16949 certified; an international quality system standard specifically formulated for the global automotive industry. In addition, TI sites first achieved OHSAS 18001 certification in 2007, and have achieved Sony Green Partner certification.

ISO 14001

Responsible environmental stewardship is a high priority at TI. Compliance with local government authority is the basic minimum requirement for all TI sites. Local management is responsible for assuring compliance and corporate ESH audits ensure that working processes are in place. One of the additional tools utilized to meet TI ESH goals is the ISO environmental management system certification. Currently, all of our major TI manufacturing sites worldwide have obtained ISO 14001:2004 external certification, except for our fab in Chengdu, China, which will seek certification and have its initial certification pre-assessment in late 2013.

OHSAS 18001

Our occupational health and safety (OHS) management system is integrated with our environmental management system to assure a structured approach to risk management, compliance with requirements and provide the best safeguards for our operations. These are based on standards, which specify a process of achieving continuously improved OHS performance and complying with legal and other requirements. Compliance with local government authority is the basic minimum requirement for all TI sites.
