We specialize in providing auditing services for the latest version of the IATF 16949 Certification, specifically, the 3rd Edition published in June 2009. This standard is specifically designed for the automotive industry’s Quality Management System (QMS). ISO 16949:2016 was developed by members of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and aligned with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for publication.

Our audits go beyond the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and include additional controls specified in the QMS for the design/development, production, installation, and servicing of automotive-related products. By implementing these robust systems, organizations can achieve harmonized quality systems within the automotive supply chain, resulting in a more focused and consistent approach.

At IBC, our experienced auditors conduct value-added audits that provide practical insights to enhance an organization’s ability to establish and maintain a strong QMS. This leads to improved consistency in output, ensuring customer satisfaction and attracting new customers to the organization. We understand the unique requirements and challenges of the automotive industry and aim to support organizations in meeting and exceeding those standards.
