An international recognition for quality
Iglom has obtained the IATF 16949:2016 certification, the quality management standard specific to the automotive sector developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in collaboration with ISO.
This certification represents an important milestone: it integrates the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 with additional criteria designed to ensure safer, more controlled, and more transparent processes throughout the entire automotive supply chain.
What the IATF 16949 standard provides
The IATF 16949 standard establishes stringent rules for quality management systems. Among its main objectives:
- prevention of defects and reduction of process variation;
- continuous improvement and proactive risk management;
- specific requirements for suppliers and the supply chain;
- greater focus on OEM and Tier 1 customer satisfaction.
The certification is now considered a fundamental requirement for companies intending to operate within the international automotive supply chain.
IATF and the lubricants sector
Within the lubricants sector, obtaining IATF 16949 certification is particularly important. The production of oils and fluids for the automotive market requires blending and packaging processes that are safe, traceable, and compliant with manufacturers’ requirements.
With this recognition, Iglom positions itself as a reliable partner for car manufacturers and suppliers, guaranteeing quality standards recognized worldwide.
Strategies and tangible benefits
The application of the IATF 16949 standard entails:
