Standard, herein referred to as "Automotive QMS Standard" or "IATF 16949," along with applicable automotive customer-specific requirements, ISO 9001:2015 requirements, and ISO 9000:2015 defines the fundamental quality m anagement system requirements for automotive production and relevant service parts organizations. As such, this Automotive QMS Standard cannot be considered a stand-alone QMS Standard but has to be comprehended as a supplement to and used in conjunction wi th ISO 9001:2015. 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 re quirements. Annex B is provided for guidance to implement the IATF 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 Forc e (IATF) with the aim of harmonizing the different assessment and certification systems worldwide 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 original equipment manufacturers [herein referred to as OEMs] and the national automotive trade associations) introduced a common set of techniques and methods for common product and process development for automotive manufacturing worldwide. In preparation for migrating from ISO/TS 16949:2009 (3rd edition) to this Automotive QMS Standard, IATF 16949, feedback was solicited from certification bodies, auditors, suppliers, and OEMs to create IATF 16949:2016 (1st edition), which cancels and replaces ISO/TS 16949:2009 (3rd 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 in the supply chain. IATF 16949: 2016 9 Remarks for certification Requirements for certification to this Automotive QMS Standard are defined in the Rules for achieving and maintaining IATF recognition.

IATF 16949: 2016 11 Quality management systems — Requirements 1 Scope See ISO 9001:2015 requirements. 1.1 Scope – automotive supplemental to ISO 9001:2015 This Automotive QMS Standard defines the quality management system requirements for the design and development, production and, when relevant, assembly, installation, and services of automotive-related products, including products with embedded software. This Automotive QMS Standard is applicable to sites of the organization where manufacturing of customer-specified production parts, service parts, and/or accessory parts occur. This Automotive QMS Standard should be applied throughout the automotive supply chain. 2 Normative references See ISO 9001:2015 requirements. 2.1 Normative and informative references Annex A (Control Plan) is a normative part of this Automotive QMS standard.

Where contractually agreed with the customer, this shall include evaluation of the interaction of the organization's product, including embedded software, within the system of the final customer's product. 8.3.4.3 Prototype programme When required by the customer, the organization shall have a prototype programme and control plan. The organization shall use, whenever possible, the same suppliers, tooling, and manufacturing processes as will be used in production. All performance-testing activities shall be monitored for timely completion and conformity to requirements. When services are outsourced, the organization shall include the type and extent of control in the scope of its quality management system to ensure that outsourced services conform to re quirements (see ISO 9001, Section 8.4). 8.3.4.4 Product approval process The organization shall establish, implement, and maintain a product and manufacturing approval process conforming to requirements defined by the customer(s). The organization shall approve externally provided products and services per ISO 9001, Section 8.4.3, prior to submission of their part approval to the customer. The organization shall obtain documented product approval prior to shipment, if required by the customer. Records of such approval shall be retained. NOTE Product approval should be subsequent to the verification of the manufacturing process. 8.3.5 Design and development outputs See ISO 9001:2015 requirements. 8.3.5.1 Design and development outputs — supplemental The product design output shall be expressed in terms that can be verified and validated against product design input requirements.
