IATF 16949:2016

IATF 16949 is a global Quality Management System Standard for the Automotive industry. IATF 16949:2016 incorporates the structure and requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standard with additional automotive customer-specific requirements. 

IATF 16949 Certified means an organization has met the requirements in IATF 16949.  

Why IATF 16949 and not just ISO 16949?

IATF 16949 was developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF).  IATF 16949:2016 is an innovative document designed by IATF. It provides strong preference to the customer, with inclusion of a number of consolidated previous customer specific requirements. The IATF maintains strong cooperation with ISO by continuing liaison committee status ensuring continued alignment with ISO 9001.
