IATF 16949 in Indore: questions clients ask

Which Pithampur suppliers need IATF 16949?

Suppliers of production parts to the vehicle makers and tier-1 plants in the cluster are most often asked. The condition is written in each customer's supplier terms. Tier-3 and non-production suppliers may be asked for ISO 9001 instead, so ask the buyer.

Does IATF 16949 need a body that audits Madhya Pradesh sites?

The certificate must come from a certification body recognised by IATF, and the body needs auditors who can reach your site. Ask bodies about their auditor availability for Indore and Pithampur before applying. The national accreditation detail sits on the India page.
