The IATF Global Oversight committee has issued a communique to the IATF 16949 community in regard to IATF 16949 certification and preparation during COVID. In addition, IATF 16949 and the Core Tools require specific start-up actions that suppliers are being required to follow. Furthermore, organizations need to make themselves business resilient. The ISO 31000 risk management standard, and the ISO 22301 the business continuity standard are important to consider. We encourage organizations to adopt these measures to adapt to these challenging times.
