Conformity with IATF 16949 is the condition for acceptance into the automotive manufacturers‘ list of suppliers. In preparation for certification, those responsible in an organisation must come to grips with the concrete implementation of requirements. IATF 16949 auditors’ competence is of decisive importance: on the one hand, because they have to implement the IATF 16949 requirements in their own organisation in a focussed manner and evaluate the effectiveness of quality management actions. On the other hand, so they can review their suppliers as to whether their QM system complies with IATF 16949. The examination for certified 1st / 2nd party auditor IATF 16949 offers participants a level of quali cation comparable to a 3rd party auditor. In this form, the certificate awarded upon passing the examination is issued exclusively by the IATF member VDA QMC or by one of our approved licensed partners. The examination subject matter is drawn from the topics dealt with during the training, the IATF 16949 requirements and in individual cases the customer-specific requirements of the OEMs.
