HIGHLIGHTS
OVERVIEW
On October 3, 2016, IATF 16949:2016 was published by the IATF and therefore supersedes and replaces the current ISO/TS 16949:2009, defining the requirements of a Quality Management System for organizations in the automotive industry.
IATF 16949:2016 is the global technical specification and quality management standard for the automotive industry based on ISO 9001:2015. It is designed to be used in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015, and contains supplemental requirements specific to the automotive industry rather than being a stand-alone QMS.
IATF 16949:2016 brings together standards from across Europe and the U.S., outlining everything you need to know about achieving best practice when designing, developing, manufacturing, installing, or servicing automotive products. It is intended to be used by organizations of any size or industry, and can be used by any company. As an international standard, it is recognized as the basis for any company to create a system to ensure customer satisfaction and improvement, and as such, many companies demand this as the minimum requirement for an organization to be a supplier.
Because organization is auditing its processes, as well as having a certification body audit them, customers themselves do not need to audit the company. It is because of this that IATF 16949 has become a necessity for many companies to compete in the market.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What should be doneif translation errorsare discovered in the IATF 16949 standard?
The IATF uses a defined process for managing translations of the standard, including “cross-checking”the translationto ensure accuracy. If an organization, or a certification body,identifies what is believed to be a translation error, they should contact either the IATF member industry association or the Oversight Office supporting their certification body
2. Why are there two manuals (IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015)?Two manuals instead of one manual makes it much more difficult to read and understand the requirements.
The IATF and ISO were not able to reach a licensing agreement to publish IATF 16949 in an integrated document. In order to not further delay the launch of the new IATF 16949 standard, the IATF decided to publish in atwo-manualformat.Prior to release, the IATF did confirm with international accreditation organizations that other industry sectors use atwo-manual formatmodel to define their sector specific requirements, and auditing with the two-manual model, while not optimal, is effective.The IATF maintains strong cooperation with ISO by continuing the liaison committee status ensuring continued alignment with ISO 9001
3. What is the scope of this clause? Many organizations focus on regulatory/statutory requirements of the product and do not believe they have product safety related manufacturing product or process?
This clause focuses on product and manufacturing process characteristics that affect the safety performance of the final assembly. These characteristics may not be directly addressed in regulatory/statutory requirements, but may be defined by the custome.
4. Are MSA studies required for each instrument or device?
No. A complete statistical study on each single piece of equipment is not required. Instruments with the same characteristics (e.g. measurement range, resolution, repeatability, etc.) can be grouped and a sample instrument (representative of the gauge family) can be used for the statistical study.
