    IATF 16949:2016 Information

    ISO/TS 16949 Overview


    ISO/TS 16949 Technical Specification for Automotive Quality Management Systems, in conjunction
    with ISO 9001, defines the quality system requirements for the design/development, manufacturing,
    installation and servicing of automotive-related products. ISO/TS 16949 certification is a mandatory
    industry requirement developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) to align
    automotive quality systems throughout the world.

    ISO/TS 16949 was developed in 1999 by the IATF in conjunction with the ISO quality management
    technical committee ISO/TC 176. It is now one of the most widely used international standards in the
    automotive industry, aiming to harmonize the different assessment and certification systems in the
    global automotive supply chain.

    NSF-ISR is the largest ISO/TS 16949 certification in the world by number of certificates, and we were
    among the first to be recognized by the IATF to conduct ISO/TS 16949 audits. We bring real-world
    knowledge and practical experience to our auditing program.

    Changes to the Standard


    On August 9, the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) announced that it will publish a new
    international standard in October, IATF 16949:2016, to replace ISO/TS 16949:2009. This standard will
    define the requirements for a quality management system for organizations in the automotive
    industry, including automotive production, service and/or accessory parts organizations. It will be
    aligned with and refer to the most recent version of ISO’s quality management systems standard, ISO
    9001:2015.

    The goal of the standard is the development of a QMS that:

     Provides for continual improvement


     Emphasizes defect prevention
     Includes specific requirements and tools from the automotive industry
     Promotes the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain

    Feedback from certification bodies, auditors, suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
    was considered during development of the standard, to make it an innovative and customer-
    oriented document. Common automotive customer-specific requirements were also incorporated.
    Transition Timeline

    ‒ ISO/TS 16949:2009 will not be valid after September 14, 2018.


    ‒ After October 1, 2017, no audits, including initial, surveillance, recertification or transfer, will be
    conducted to the current ISO/TS 16949:2009
    ‒ All transition audits will be conducted as recertification audits, new certificates & new 3-year
    cycle will begin

    Transition Plan
    The nearly 63,000 organizations certified to ISO/TS 16949:2009 will move to the new IATF 16949 through
    a transition audit at a regularly scheduled recertification audit or surveillance audit in line with the
    current audit cycle for ISO/TS 16949:2009 (according to the allowable timing requirements defined in
    the IATF Rules, section 5.1.1). All organizations currently certified to ISO/TS16949:2009 must fully
    transition by September 14, 2018.

    The transition audit will be a full systems audit equivalent to a recertification audit and must comply
    with all requirements defined in the IATF Rules, section 6.8. Previously, the IATF communicated that
    there would be an additional 0.5 - 1.0 days for each transition audit, but this has been withdrawn.

    Organizations certified to ISO/TS 16949:2009 cannot transition to IATF 16949 at a transfer audit to a
    new IATF-recognized certification body. Additionally, transitions cannot take place during a special
    audit, or at any other audit which is not in line with the current audit cycle for ISO/TS 16949:2009.

    Certificate Issuance
    NSF-ISR, and all certification bodies, must comply with the requirements of the certification decision
    process (as defined in IATF Rules, section 5.12). They can make a positive certification decision after
    the expiration date of the existing ISO/TS 16949:2009 certificate, as long as the decision is made within
    a maximum of 120 calendar days from the last day of the transition audit. NOTE: This might result in a
    period where the client’s ISO/TS 16949:2009 certificate has expired and no valid certificate exists
    before a new IATF 16949 certificate is then issued.

    Upon a positive certification decision, NSF-ISR will issue an IATF 16949 certificate that will include the
    issue date and expiration date (issue date plus a maximum of three years minus one day). This new
    certificate shall bear a new IATF number and the current ISO/TS 16949 certificate (if still in “issued”
    status), is automatically superseded in the IATF database.
    Upcoming Resources & Next Steps
    As the standard gets closer to publication, NSF-ISR will be releasing additional tools and resources
    geared towards helping registered organizations prepare to transition. These include readiness
    assessments, webinars, transition checklists and standards comparisons, as well as top management
    briefings and news updates.

    Next steps for current TS registrants include gaining familiarity with the new ISO 9001:2015 structure
    and requirements as this will be contained within the TS requirements. Any knowledge gained
    through this process will be utilized during the TS transition.

    NSF-ISR has created several tools to assist clients in understanding the structural changes for migrating
    from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015. These resources include a readiness assessment, transition guide,
    on-demand webinars and an upgrade planner and delta checklist. They can be accessed through
    the ISO 9001:2015 Revision tab on the ISO Standards Revision page, www.nsf.org/info/iso-updates.
