IATF 16949: Established quality management in the automotive industry (previously ISO 16949)

The IATF 16949:2016 standard was published in October 2016, replacing ISO/TS 16949 - the most widely used global standard for quality management in the automotive industry. IATF 16949 is aligned with the Quality Management System standard ISO 9001:2015, and contains additional automotive customer-specific requirements. Its best practice approach delivers structure to process improvements, helping organisations within the automotive supply chain to improve their performance through more efficient use of resources.
