If you want to work according to high quality standards, ISO 9001 is sometimes not sufficient. That is why the automotive industry developed IATF 16949. With this quality standard, you develop a reliable and durable end product.
Automotive companies like to work with manufacturers that comply with IATF standards. For example, in 2009, the collaboration with DAF prompted Sentech to obtain an IATF certificate.
Certification
In 2021, IATF introduced changes to the standard. As a result, Sentech decided to continue working according to the standard, but not renew the certification.
Therefore, after twelve years, our IATF certification will expire on July 9, 2021. If customers require IATF certification again, we will discuss the possibility of recertifying.
Maintain quality with high quality standards
The core tools and processes – originating from IATF certification – have been interwoven for twelve years our method. In 5 phases, we identify risks in a timely manner and make them manageable. This is how we guarantee the quality of the end product. After not renewing the certification, we will continue to work according to these high quality standards.
Continuously developing and optimizing our processes, as well as developing our employees, remains an important theme. We do this in addition to our ISO 9001 certification, which remains in effect.
