The IATF has developed a summary document identifying the specific areas of impact for the supplier in relation to the Rules for Achieving IATF Recognition. The Rules document is the requirements document for the management of the Certification Bodies processes for ISO/TS16949 Certification. The document sets out the areas which directly impact on the supplier and areas of supplier responsibility.

The IATF has decided to make this document freely available from each Automotive National Association and is therefore now downloadable in PDF format from the smmt.co.uk web site.

During the first six months of 2009 the ISO/TS Global Certification has continued to grow at a 4%.

The most significant area of growth continues to be the Asia Pacific region where the total number of certificates rose from 19,979 Dec 2008 to 21,546 Jun 2009.

China remains the biggest single country in terms of certificates with a total of 11,274 up 11% from 10,144 at the end of 2008.
