Please pardon my ignorance on the matter, but having spent most of my working life in the medical device industry, I'm not familiar with the automotive standard.
In preparing for a supplier audit next month, the supplier has informed us that they have allowed their ISO 9001 cert to lapse and have become registered to the IATF 16949:2016 standard. The reason they provided is that the automotive standard includes everything in ISO 9001, and they didn't need both certifications.
Can anyone here please tell me if this is true, or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance....
