Certificate scope statement

The statement displayed on the IATF 16949 certificate or the letter of conformance that indicates the products being designed and/or manufactured under the quality management system. The certificate scope statement only reflects the categories of automotive products the client is manufacturing at the site that is being certified, and, where applicable, indicates the client’s responsibility for their design. The certificate scope statement may also include the client’s manufacturing processes and/or technologies used to further convey the character of the automotive products.
