International Automotive Task Force (IATF)
The IATF is a group of OEMs and automotive trade associations whose common goal is to improve the quality of products to benefit automotive customers worldwide. IATF has a very specific mission - the development of a consensus quality system requirements document for automotive supply chain, along with a recognition scheme and training to support third party assessments of automotive suppliers. The result of IATF's efforts, in conjunction with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has been the introduction of ISO/TS 16949 quality management system requirements documents.
IATF administers the ISO/TS16949 through a network of formal oversight offices established in member countries. These include the International Automotive Oversight Bureau (IAOB) for the US, CCFA for France, ANFIA for Italy, VDA for Germany, and SMMT for the UK. IATF is the sole Accreditation Board in the world, providing recognition to CBs for TS16949 certification.
URS is recognized by IATF for ISO/TS16949 certification to automobile suppliers. |
