Required Documentation

IATF 16949:2016 has greatly expanded upon required documentation compared to TS 16949:2009. In this new standard, IATF 16949 has replaced the terms “documented procedure” and “record” with “documented information” throughout the entire text to be compliant with other standards, based off of ISO 9001:2015. Throughout the standard, it discusses what requirements must be documented and gives examples. IATF 16949 is based off of ISO 9001:2015, with additional requirements to meet the automotive industry.
