IATF 16949. What to consider When Changing Certification Bodies?

Plan your IATF 16949 re-certification in advance

Have you been IATF certified for more than two years? Then start planning your re-certification now for a smooth transition. IATF 16949 certification is valid for three years, requiring re-certification thereafter. To ensure compliance with re-certification requirements, please take note of the following deadline: Schedule the re-certification audit so that it occurs no more than three years after the previous audit. The permissible window is -3 months to +0 days. The new IATF certification must be issued before the current certificate expires.

What does this mean in practice? Here is an example:

  • 09/15/2020: Last audit date of the previous re-audit or certification audit.
  • 12/22/2023: The IATF 16949 certificate is valid until this date.
  • 09/15/2023: The re-certification audit must be completed by this date. However, you can carry out the audit up to 3 months earlier.
  • 12/22/2023: The new certificate must be issued no later than 12/22/2023 with a new validity period of 3 years.
