Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between ISO 9001 and IATF 16949?
IATF 16949 is the automotive quality standard based on ISO 9001 with additional automotive-specific requirements. It includes stricter controls for traceability, change management, defect prevention, and customer-specific requirements. IATF 16949 is required by most automotive OEMs. The standard emphasizes defect prevention rather than detection and requires more rigorous process controls.
2. What are PPAP requirements?
PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is required by automotive OEMs for new parts. It includes documentation of design records, process flow, control plan, measurement system analysis, dimensional results, material tests, performance tests, and initial process studies. Hongfa can provide PPAP documentation for automotive relay applications. Contact our quality team for PPAP level requirements.
3. Is IATF 16949 required for all automotive suppliers?
IATF 16949 is required by most automotive OEMs for Tier 1 suppliers. Tier 2 suppliers may also need certification depending on customer requirements. Contact our quality team for specific guidance.
