IATF 16949 specifies the requirements of a quality management system for automotive production. Born from the need for a globally harmonised quality management system requirements document, IATF 16949 was published in October 2016. It supersedes the automotive standard ISO/TS 16949, which is no longer valid. IATF 16949 requirements include the following key aspects:
- Product safety
- Risk management and contingency planning
- Requirements for embedded software
- Change and warranty management
- Management of sub-tier suppliers
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN IATF 16949 CERTIFICATION?
