2nd ed. in revision · IATF, not ISO

IATF 16949:2016 remains current (2nd edition in revision, expected 2027 — watch the official IATF source). Note it is not an ISO standard: it is published by the International Automotive Task Force, succeeding ISO/TS 16949. Customer audits hinge on the five AIAG core tools — all free on this site.
