IATF 16949-certified
Certified Quality for the Automotive Market

Meticulous process planning & quality control
Developed from ISO/TS 16949:2009, IATF 16949:2016 introduces a common set of techniques and methods for harmonizing product and process development in the global automotive manufacturing supply chain.
Exascend’s solid-state drives became officially IATF 16949:2016 certified in 2022, confirming the company’s full compliance with the rigorous automotive requirements and international standards.
The acquisition demonstrates Exascend’s commitment to product quality control and marks its formal entry into the automotive and ADAS market.
What is IATF 16949?
The IATF 16949:2016 standard
IATF 16949:2016 is developed jointly by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the Technical Committee of ISO with an aim of providing better products and services to the automotive customers worldwide.
IATF 16949:2016 integrates standards from across the globe, going beyond what is already specified in ISO9000 by focusing on defect prevention, quality assurance, and waste reduction in the supply chain of automotive components. Based on feedback from certification bodies, auditors, suppliers, and OEMs, it offers guidance on how to design, develop, manufacture, install, and service automotive products according to best practices.
The journey to becoming certified
As of the year 2022, Exascend has made it a priority to become IATF16949:2016 certified. With support from management, stakeholders and all employees, our system team was able to complete the required process planning, establish system documents, conduct standard and internal auditor trainings, run trial operations, and participate in a wide range of activities including audit, management review, pre-audit, first-stage document audit, and second-stage on-site audit.
In July 2022, upon audits and reviews, the certification body determined that Exascend’ internal system met the requirements of IATF16949:2016.
On August 8, 2022, a Certificate of Approval was issued to Exascend confirming its compliance to IATF16949:2016 standards.
