INDUSTRY FORUM ISO/TS16949 NEWSLETTER April 09 (contains)
Published IATF Auditor Guide for ISO/TS 16949
The IATF Auditor Guide to
ISO/TS16949 represents a consolidation
of automotive audit
best practice and represents
the IATF automotive process approach to
auditing through the complete audit cycle. It is structured
to provide both knowledge and
application competency
criteria against each stage of the audit process. The guide was
previously issued to IATF 3rd Party Certification Body Auditors
to address weakness seen through
the IATF witness audit process.
The IATF has now decided to make this document available to
support organizations in addressing the
competency requirements of auditors, which the IATF have seen as
a weakness within the current scheme.
