IATF 16949 certification system?

In order to continually improve auto parts-related organizations, prevent non-conformities and reduce scatter and waste, the three big American automakers (DaimlerChrysler, GM, Ford) and European automakers (Peugeot, Renault, Volkswagen, Fiat, BMW) Participated in the IATF (International Automotive Task Force) and formed a quality management system for the automotive industry for the future.
Automotive parent companies and suppliers strongly demanded the need to incorporate various quality management system requirements that have been applied to them (QS-9000 in the United States, VDA 6.1 in Germany, EAQA in France and AVSQ in Italy) into a single internationally accepted quality management system requirement.
