IATF 16949

WHAT IS IT?​

IATF 16949:2016 is the global technical specification and quality management standard for the automotive industry based on ISO 9001:2015.

Developed by the International Automotive Task Force, IATF 16949 certification is a mandatory industry requirement that aligns automotive quality management systems throughout the world. It defines the quality system requirements for the design, development, manufacturing, installation and servicing of automotive-related products.

It provides for continual improvement, defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain in the Automotive Industry.

IATF 16949 is not a standalone quality management standard, instead, it is implemented as a supplement to, and in conjunction with, ISO 9001:2015. This means that an organization in the automotive sector seeking certification against IATF 16949 must also comply with the ISO 9001:2015 requirements.

Who are the IATF?

The IATF is a group of automotive manufacturers and their respective trade associations, formed to provide improved quality products to automotive customers worldwide.

All registered organizations are added to the IATF website of recognized organizations, a copy of their certificate information is contained within the site and can be verified at any stage
