The members of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) are automobile manufacturers and national associations of the automobile industry representing suppliers. The IATF has established five Oversight Offices, commonly referred to as IATF Oversight Offices, to implement and manage its certification system to IATF 16949: Requirements for Quality Management Systems for Organisations involved in the Production of Automotive Production and Parts. Public information about the IATF and its IATF Oversight Offices is available at www.iatfglobaloversight.org

The IATF authorises certification bodies to conduct audits according to IATF 16949 and to issue certificates to their customers.
