Our IATF 16949 internal audit checklist is designed specifically for automotive manufacturers and suppliers who need to meet the rigorous requirements of the IATF 16949 standard. This template guides you through each clause so your audit process can be thorough, consistent, and fully aligned with industry best practices. In a study by Heriot-Watt University, the automotive sector is responsible for over 70% of the total financial losses caused by product recalls. Robust internal audits are then especially critical for mitigating risk and protecting your business.
This checklist addresses core automotive challenges like process conformity, supplier management, and risk-based thinking, so it’s a must-have for quality leaders. If you’re also managing ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 audits, or need sector-specific tools like a manufacturing or QMS checklist, you’ll find more tailored templates in our library to complement your compliance program.
