IATF 16949 is a recognized quality management system standard in the automotive industry. Passing the certification means that your products meet the stringent quality requirements of the automotive industry and can enter the supply chain system of the global mainstream automotive companies. Capacitive touch panels are widely used in automotive center control panels, instrument panels, and other components, and many manufacturers generally require this certification when making purchases.
The core reason for requiring IATF 16949 certification:
Mandatory requirements in the automotive industry: Most OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) make it mandatory for their supply chain to be IATF 16949 certified, otherwise they cannot enter the supplier list.
Ensure product reliability and consistency: Automotive components (e.g., touchscreens) are required to work stably for long periods of time in extreme environments (e.g., high temperatures, vibration), and certification proves that a supplier's process control capability meets industry standards.
Reduce supply chain risks: Customers can screen suppliers through certification requirements to avoid production stoppages and recalls due to quality issues (e.g., touch screen failures can cause vehicle safety hazards, which can be extremely costly to recall).
WIWO has a stable quality management ability, in order to be able to reduce the customer's audit cost of the supplier and accelerate the cooperation process, we have obtained the IAFT16949 certification.
IATF 16949 is not only a mandatory requirement for customers, but also a strategic tool for WIWO to improve its management level and capture the automotive market.
