IATF Sanctioned Interpretations

The International Automotive Task Force released 3 new sanctioned interpretations in May 2022 that became effective in June. (SI 23-25). #23 was related to Product and Process Conformance and #24 & #25 were related to Control Plans.

#23 is not really a new requirement, but explicitly states that conformance to material requirements are also part of the organizations requirement to ensure conformance including any processes or products that are outsourced. The rationale for this includes the increasing material regulatory compliance importance.

#24 relates to Annex A: A.1 for Phases of the Control Plans: a summary of control information may be acceptable with direct references or linkages to the system that manages the detailed process control information, FOR highly automated processes.

#25 relates to Annex A: A.2 Elements of a control plan, Point e) Part Numbers “Or common control plan designation”. This would be applicable to common control plans used for multiple part numbers.
