After years supplying parts to the automotive industry, our manufacturing facility in China is proudly certified under IATF 16949:2016, a technical specification for a Quality Management System (QMS) as set forth by the International Automotive Task Force. Meant to be used in conjunction with our ISO9001:2015 certified QMS, IATF 16949:2016 replaced the previous ISO/TS 16949.
ABOUT THE
STANDARD
IATF 16949:2016 brings together standards from across Europe and the U.S., outlining everything a company needs to know about achieving best practice when designing, developing, manufacturing, installing, or servicing automotive products. Many companies demand certification to this standard as a requirement for an organization to be a supplier.
This international standard ensures a QMS that is designed to:
• Provide continuous improvement.
• Highlight the prevention of failures.
• Include requirements and tools specific to the automotive sector.
• Promote the decrease of variation and waste within the supply chain.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
Our initiative to obtain certification included months of outside training to our factory personnel and updates to our quality documentation and procedures. Included were an intense series of internal and external audits, which are an ongoing requirement.
The IATF certification was a significant milestone for our company and demonstrates our commitment to manufacturing high-quality, best-in-class products for all our customers.
