Getting IATF 16949 certification
We have recently obtained our ISO 9001 certification and I would like to see if it is possible for us to get the IATF as well. We have a joint venture with the factory that produces our products under our license but we are basically just a marketing and logistical company supplying products to the automotive market. The JV partner already is IATF certified.

The first requirement to obtain IATF 16949: 2016 certification is to manufacture for the automotive industry (Original Equipment Manufacturer ‘’OEM’’ or Original Equipment Service ‘’OES’’) and to fit the part on the vehicle. Sales organizations, distributors, dealers, etc. cannot deserve this certificate as they do not produce the parts.
I understand you are the sales organization and therefore you cannot apply for the IATF 16949: 2016 certification.
