What is IATF 16949:2016 Automotive Quality Management System?

The IATF 16949 standard specifies the requirements of the ISO 9001 standards for automotive manufacturing.

The IATF 16949 standard was developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the ISO technical committee in response to the need for a globally harmonized quality management system document.

This technical specification brings together all previously published national automotive quality standards such as QS-9000, VDA 6.1, EAQF 94 and AVSQ.

Why Is IATF 16949 Important to Your Organization?

By implementing the IATF 16949 standard, your company demonstrates its compliance with quality management system standards in preventing defects in the supply chain and minimizing variation and waste, and in establishing a continuous improvement process. The technical specification applies to all product and production material manufacturers and supplier groups, such as heat treatment or galvanizing services and vehicle components specified by automotive customers. This technical specification certification is accepted by leading automotive and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Leading manufacturers in their sector require their suppliers to comply with the strict technical requirements set forth in the standard and only work with companies that have the IATF 16949 certification.
