The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) issues at irregular intervals so-called Sanctioned Interpretations (SIs) and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the Quality Management System Standard “IATF 16949” and the IATF requirements for certification, referred to as “IATF Rules”.
A Sanctioned Interpretation (SI) changes the interpretation of a rule or a requirement which itself then becomes the basis for a nonconformity.
A FAQ is an explanation of an existing rule or requirement. Unless otherwise indicated, Frequently Asked Questions are applicable upon publication.
