Assign topic to the user
According to IATF 16949:2016 standard in the requirement of 4.4.1.2, product safety job description is not directly required. You can add the points specified in 4.4.1.2 of the IATF 16949:2016 standard from item ‘’a’’ to item ‘’m’’ to the existing job descriptions of the employees in the organization according to the tasks they are responsible for. In this way, you don't need to write a separate job description.
If your customer-specific requirement is identified as the appointment of a product safety responsible, then it may be necessary to write a job description for this topic.
German customers require the appointment of a product safety responsible like Mercedes and Volkswagen.
If you have such a special requirement, then it may be necessary to write a product safety responsible job description separately.
