Official News: Our Company Obtains IATF 16949:2016 Certification for Full-Range Automotive Fasteners

Release Time: 2026-06-18

What Does IATF 16949 Certification Mean for Automotive Fastener Buyers?

Issued by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), IATF 16949:2016 is the global highest unified quality access standard for the whole automotive supply chain, covering product design, raw material procurement, precision manufacturing, surface treatment, performance testing, quality traceability and after-sales service. Unlike ordinary ISO 9001 certification, this standard puts forward mandatory requirements for production consistency, failure risk prevention, PPAP production approval, batch quality control and automotive-grade material compliance, which is a core entry threshold for mainstream European, American, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern automotive procurement chains.

 

For automotive fasteners including automotive bolts, wheel studs, chassis screws, stainless steel locking fasteners, engine high-temperature fasteners and customized non-standard auto fasteners, IATF 16949 qualification verifies that all products meet automotive anti-loosening, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and dimensional tolerance industry requirements, effectively avoiding assembly failure, vehicle safety hidden dangers and batch return risks for downstream automakers.

 

Certification Coverage & Product Advantages

This full-plant certification covers our whole workshop production process and all automotive fastener categories sold on our official independent website, involving core application scenarios as below:
