IATF 16949 certificates are not on IAF CertSearch
IATF 16949:2016 is a genuine certification — but it is governed by the IATF, and its certificates are not published on IAF CertSearch. They are issued only by IATF-recognised certification bodies under the IATF Rules, each certificate carries an IATF certificate number, and status is confirmed through the IATF customer portal at iatf-customerportal.org. Two things quietly kill a certificate that looks valid: the customer-specific requirements of your client’s own automotive customers not being in scope, and the certificate having been withdrawn between audits. Check the number, the scope and the current status — not just the paper. Learn how to tell a real certificate from a fake one →
