CQI-35 Wiring Harness Quality Guideline  

Significance and Application of the new CQI-35 Guideline 

In September 2024, the new CQI-35 quality guideline was published, which was developed specifically for the quality requirements of wire harnesses in the automotive industry. In contrast to assessment documents, the CQI-35 provides comprehensive guidelines for ensuring quality and reliability in the production of wire harnesses.

The guideline helps companies to minimise errors in production, reduce rejects and increase customer satisfaction through improved performance. It helps to optimise processes and minimise risks in the production of wire harnesses for electric, hybrid and conventional vehicles (ICE).

We at TopQM-Systems offer a new AIAG CQI-35 4h online training and a 1-day workshop online or on site.

CQI-35: Quality assurance for wiring harness systems (Wiring Harness Quality Guideline)

The AIAG has set up a new working group to revise the current CQI-35 standard. This standard, which is published as "CQI-35 Special Process: Wiring Harness Quality System Assessment", defines the requirements for the production and quality assessment of wire harnesses, especially for the automotive industry.

The aim of the Wiring Harness Quality System Assessment is to establish a uniform quality standard to ensure wire harness quality, process optimisation and continuous improvement in wire harness production. The focus is on error prevention, reduction of variability and waste in the supply chain. The evaluation of the wire harness system provides a structured approach for the automotive industry to produce safe, efficient and reliable wire harnesses.

The CQI-35 standard covers specific processes and requirements that play a role in the manufacture and testing of wire harnesses. These include guidelines for material handling, crimping and cutting processes, soldering requirements, shrink applications and assembly requirements. It also covers testing and inspection requirements as well as best practices for workshop equipment and ergonomics. The standardised application of these processes sustainably improves product quality and efficiency in wire harness production.
