International Automotive Task Force

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IATF ( International Automotive Task Force ) is a "purpose-specific" working group, which is composed of representatives from mostly North American and European automobile manufacturers and automobile associations and deals with the harmonization (unification) of the standards (norms) to improve product quality for automobile customers.

The IATF was founded to fulfill the following tasks:

  • Development of an international consensus on the fundamental QM system requirements - primarily for use by the participating companies, direct suppliers (Tier 1 suppliers) of production material, spare parts and processing services (e.g. heat and surface treatment as well as coating). The requirements developed should also be made available to other interested users in the automotive industry.
  • Development of guidelines and procedural instructions for the worldwide application of a uniform 3rd party certification procedure.
  • Provision of a suitable training program to support the IATF 16949 requirements and the corresponding certification process.
  • Develop official relationships with relevant organizations to support the IATF's goals.
