Prepare the IATF 16949 certification

IATF 16949 rules have no defined time frame for the transition from ISO 9001:2015 to IATF 16949:2016. When the organization is ready according to IATF 16949:2016, it must take the stage 1 audit and, if the result is ‘’ready’’ then to start stage 2 audit, which is the main audit within 90 days after stage 1 audit. In my experience, a firm that effectively implements ISO 9001: 2015 says it will be ready for the IATF 16949: 2016 audit, with 6 months of work.
