United Technologies has recently released a new revision of it's Supplier Quality System Requirements document. In paragraph 4.1.2, it requires:
As people in the automotive supply chain knows, distributors cannot be certified to the IATF16949 standard; only manufacturing sites.
I tried emailing UTC about this, but the 2 email addresses available returned an undeliverable, error message.
All Distributors in the supply chain shall be certified by an industry accredited body to AS/EN/JISQ 9100, AS/EN/JISQ 9120, ISO 9001, or IATF16949:2016.
