IATF 16949 Audit Services in China – Automotive QMS
Pro QC International has been a global provider of quality assurance solutions in the automotive sector for over four decades. In China, where the automotive market is rapidly expanding, we conduct IATF 16949 audits to ensure that manufacturers and suppliers adhere to the highest Quality Management System (QMS) standards.
Overview of IATF 16949 Audits in China
The IATF 16949 standard is the primary QMS standard for the automotive industry worldwide, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. This standard merges ISO 9001’s principles with additional requirements specific to the automotive industry.
Auditing involves a detailed examination of a company’s operational processes, quality management systems, product quality, and services.
