What is IATF 16949?

IATF 16949 is the global quality management standard for the automotive supply chain, published by the International Automotive Task Force. It builds on ISO 9001 and adds automotive requirements such as APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA and SPC.

Car, truck and two-wheeler manufacturers expect it from their direct suppliers of production parts.

IATF 16949 FAQs

01 Do we need ISO 9001 first?

ISO 9001 is built into IATF 16949, so a separate ISO 9001 certificate is not required, but having one makes the move easier.

02 How long does IATF 16949 certification take?

Most small and mid-size organisations are certified in 3–6 weeks. It depends on your size, locations and how much is already documented.

03 How long is the certificate valid?

Certificates are usually valid for 3 years, with a short surveillance audit each year. We help you prepare for those too.

04 Is the certificate accredited and verifiable?

Yes. Audits are done by accredited certification bodies, and your certificate can be verified online by customers and tender committees.
