IATF 16949

IATF 16949 is like a guidebook for making cars and trucks very carefully. It tells car designers and makers how to make sure their vehicles are as safe and reliable as possible.

It has lots of rules and steps that they have to follow. They have to test all the different parts of the car to make sure they work well together. Things like the engine, brakes, and steering wheel all have to be checked to make sure they are safe for people to use.

The companies also have to keep track of everything they do, like how they build the car and what materials they use. This helps them figure out if there are any problems or if something needs to be fixed.

Basically, IATF 16949 helps make sure that the cars and trucks we drive every day are made really well and are as safe as they can be.
