Foreword ~ Automotive QMS Standard
This Automotive Quality Management System Standard, herein referred to as "Automotive QMS
Standard’ or “IATF 18949," along with applicable automotive customer-specific requirements, ISO
9001-2015 requirements, and ISO 90002015 defines the fundamental quality management system
requirements for automotive production and relevant service parts organizations. As such, this
Automotive OMS Standard cannot be considered a stand-alone GMS Standard but has to be
comprehended as a supplement to and used in conjunction with ISO 90012015. ISO 9001-2015 is
published as a separate ISO Standard,
IATF 16949-2016 (1st edition) represents an innovative document, given the strong orientation to the:
customer, with inclusion of a number of consolidated previous customer specific requirements.
Annex 8 is provided for guidance to implement the JATF 16949 requirements unless otherwise specified
by customer specific requirements
History
ISO/TS 16949 (1st edition) was originally created in 1999 by the International Automotive Task Force
(IATF) wath the aim of harmonizing the different assessment and certfication systems worldade in the
supply chain for the automotive sector. Other revisions were created (2nd edition in 2002, and 3rd edition
in 2009) as necessary for either automotive sector enhancements or ISO 9001 revisions. ISO/TS 16949,
(along with supporting technical publications developed by otiginal equipment manufacturers [herein
referred to as OEMs] and the national automotive trade associations) introduced a common set oftechniques and methods for common product and process development for automotive manufacturing
worldwide.
In preparation for migrating from ISO/TS 16949:2008 (2rd edition) to this Automotive QMS Standard,
IATF 16949, feedback was solicited from cerification bodies, auditors, suppliers, and OEMs to create
IATF 16949:2016 (1st edition), which cancels and replaces ISO/TS 16949:2000 (2rd edition.
The IATF maintains strong cooperation with ISO by continuing liaison committee status ensuring
continued alignment with ISO 9001
Goal
The goal of this Automotive QMS standard is the development of a quality management system that
provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and
‘waste inthe supply chain
