I have just received the news that the corrective actions from my external audit have been accepted and now we are certified in IATF 16949, so my question for the group is, How many of you are certified in the new standard?

Two of my plants have been certified. One had a couple minors (that have since been closed) and the other had no findings.

We are currently working on closing out minor nonconformities. They are pretty straight forward so I don't anticipate any troubles with receiving our certificate at the beginning of April.

What were the nonconformances? Listing them could help others.

Product safety requirement not adequately defined - although we don't have any parts currently that apply here we do consider this in quoting and
contract review but it wasn't called out specifically enough, added it to templates

Contingency plan testing - we did not have enough evidence that we test this (using an actual event doesn't count btw). It was a minor because we do have records of the testing we have done. After getting this write up and doing some research, we threw the whole existing one out and started over so that it is more audit friendly. I think our medical customers will be happier with it as well.

MSA - did you guys catch that MSAs are now required on every feature of the control plan, not just the special characteristics? The key words here are "each type" so don't forget your visuals! I think I missed it in our gap analysis based on denial LOL 7.1.5.1.1

Employee motivation process not adequately defined 7.3.2 - this is one of those were there needed to be a procedure - ours was an honorable mention in the HR procedure. Fortunately, it's built in to our culture so there is tons of evidence of a system in place thus the minor status.

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help were I can.

Hi,
We are a tier 2 automotive company and soon we will be get an external audit according to new IATF standard and I was wondering if is it common that the external auditor ask in advance for your documents and procedures before he/she perform audit?

I appreciate your support.
Thanks

They have to request documentation in advance.

It's required by the IATF rules. It's like you provide your whole system and wonder what they will have left to audit.
