IATF 16949 (2016 Awareness)

Iatf 16949:2016 is the international standard for automotive quality management systems. Iatf 16949 was jointly developed by the international automotive task force (iatf) members and submitted to the international organization for standardization (iso) for approval and publication. 

On October 3, 2016, IATF 16949:2016 was published by the IATF and therefore supersedes and replaces the current ISO/TS 16949:2009, defining the requirements of a Quality Management System for organizations in the automotive industry.

IATF 16949:2016 is the global technical specification and quality management standard for the automotive industry based on ISO 9001:2015. It is designed to be used in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015, and contains supplemental requirements specific to the automotive industry rather than being a stand-alone QMS

IATF 16949 emphasizes the development of a process oriented quality management system that provides for continual improvement, defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. The goal is to meet customer requirements efficiently and effectively.

The standard is applicable to any organization that manufactures components, assemblies and parts for supply to the automotive industry.
