The International Automotive Task Force has established a new legal entity, IATF AISBL, registered in Brussels as an international non-profit association to strengthen its governance and support its global role. This change has no impact on organizations certified to IATF 16949, certifications remain valid, audit and certification activities continue as usual, and there are no changes to requirements, rules, or oversight. The new structure simply reinforces the IATF’s ability to support its worldwide network and uphold consistent quality standards across the automotive supply chain.
The International Automotive Oversight Bureau (IAOB) is committed to enhancing the quality and performance of the global automotive supply chain through the oversight, development, and consistent application of the IATF 16949 Standard.
We collaborate with automotive manufacturers, certification bodies, and stakeholders worldwide to ensure integrity, transparency, and continuous improvement in quality management systems, driving excellence in the automotive industry.
The IAOB/SMMT YouTube channel brings practical examples of IATF audits to certified organizations or any internal, second party, or third-party auditor.
