AUTOMOTIVE
CERTIFICATION
The automotive industry is undergoing a veritable revolution. Automotive players must be ready to adapt if they are to stay competitive. Technological innovation, new emerging markets, changing consumer expectations and increasingly complex supply chains and regulatory frameworks are intensifying pressure on the industry. Automotive players must ensure now more than ever that their organizations are prepared to face these challenges head-on.
Bureau Veritas certification enables players across the entire Automotive value chain—such as manufacturers, dealers and Tier I and II suppliers—to demonstrate that they are meeting these challenges. Our comprehensive suite of certification and auditing services covers quality, health and safety, environmental protection, social responsibility and more.
YOUR CHALLENGE
MEETING THE IATF 16949:2016 STANDARD
The automotive supply chain is getting increasingly complex and it is crucial for car manufacturers to be able to rely on their globally-dispersed suppliers. Automotive suppliers must demonstrate their ability to anticipate and manage changes, as well as maintaining reliable industrial processes for their customer satisfaction.
Getting certified against IATF 16949:2016 (previously ISO/TS 16949:2009) is the best way to demonstrate such maturity and reliability.
HOW BUREAU VERITAS SUPPORTS YOU
IATF 16949:2016 is the only standard recognised worldwide and related to quality management systems in the automotive industry. Published by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in October 2016, it is applicable to any organisation active in the automotive supply chain.
Our team works in partnership with clients to certify and audit against the automotive standard. We support automotive stakeholders in meeting the standards expected and demonstrating compliance. We also offer a supplier’s customised audit programme to support quality throughout the supply chain.
