What makes automotive certification different?

Automotive certification bodies work under some of the strictest quality regimes in the industry. You certify against IATF 16949 and the VDA standards, each with demanding audit rules, defined audit-day calculations, and structured non-conformity handling that has to satisfy both the IATF and your accreditation body.

The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) sets rigorous requirements for how audits are planned, conducted, and reported. Generic audit tools aren’t built for that level of structure. Zertic is.
