Hi everyone,

I work for an Italian company (Stellantis' II Tier), IATF certified. 70% of the product is sold as a replacement for the after market and 30% is sold to a Stellantis’ Tier I. In your opinion, following the Rules 5th Edition Sanctioned Interpretation n°7, the IATF requirements (benestare, SPC,..) must be extended to the aftermarket product? Now the aftermarket production becomes auditable (this is about 200 customers)?
Thanks in advance

Do you know definition of "replacement" parts?
IATF have noticed some differences, against already known service parts and gave us this new creature.
They crossed out whole paragraph starting from "Aftermarket parts" and left us in ...

During audit most important thing for auditor and at the same time auditee are audit samples.
So, let's take example of situation where there is no available sample of new/changed production part for period of last 12 months.
Then auditor could be obliged to take sample of replacement part.
It is extremely tricky, as this kind of parts are not covered by all requirements of IATF, let's take e.g. section 8.
First, biggest concern would be identification of customer's requirements, where original production parts specification is unknown.
Customer, in fact, are vehicle users (driver and passenger) here, so it is not IATF, it is ISO level.
I have already experienced similar situation and aftermarket parts were audited against ISO 9001 requirements, as part of IATF 16949 audit.
