TSC3500G is another number in the same family of Toyota standards as the others listed on this site, and its interest for a supplier lies in the way the family is used rather than in the number itself. The manufacturer's standards state what a component must achieve, and the supplier is expected to turn that into a test programme that names the method, the laboratory and the equipment for each clause; the plan is submitted for agreement before testing, and the tests are performed at a facility the manufacturer has accepted. The report is then submitted on the manufacturer's own form, which fixes the parameters that must be recorded for each item, so that results from different suppliers in different countries can be compared. Corporate practice of this kind rewards a supplier who begins the paperwork early.
