Over recent decades, the US and European automotive industries have established their own industry quality standards for suppliers; QS-9000, VDA 6.2, EAQF and AVSQ. For suppliers, this meant high costs since such specific requirements for suppliers meant that multi-standard certification could not be ruled out.

IATF 16949:2002 is a unique standard, the most recently established, which will define a homogeneous composition of quality standards in the automotive industry worldwide in the future.
