Automotive Quality – IATF 16949

The document is a common automotive quality system requirements catalog based on ISO 9001:2015, and specific requirements from the automotive sector. This document, coupled with customer-specific requirements defines quality system requirements for use in the automotive supply chain.

The IATF has developed a common registration scheme for supplier 3rd party registration to the ISO/TS 16949. The registration scheme includes third party auditor qualifications and common rules for consistent global registration. Some of the benefits of the IATF registration scheme include:
• improved product and process quality
• additional confidence for global sourcing
• reassignment of supplier resources to quality improvement
• common quality system approach in the supply chain for supplier/subcontractor development   and consistency
• reduction in multiple 3rd party registrations
