Stellantis Customer-Specific Requirements for IATF 16949 - Briefing Document
This document provides a detailed briefing on Stellantis's Customer-Specific Requirements (CSRs) for suppliers, designed for use with IATF 16949 certification. It highlights key themes, essential requirements, and practical implications for suppliers.
1. Overview and Purpose of Stellantis CSRs
Stellantis's Customer-Specific Requirements (CSRs) are detailed in their "Quality Requirements for Suppliers" (QRS) document (reference 01276_22_00061/PRO.00109). This current "CSRs for use with IATF16949" document serves as a representative selection of the most audit-relevant generic requirements from the QRS, aimed at helping Certification Bodies (CBs) understand and audit Stellantis CSRs as part of IATF 16949 certification rules.
Key takeaway: All applicable QRS requirements are considered CSRs and must be integrated into a supplier's quality system, even if not explicitly detailed in this specific audit guide.
Stellantis categorizes its CSRs into two main types:
Category 1: Requirements that clarify or interpret IATF clauses, facilitating the auditing process for Stellantis programs.
Category 2: Supplemental requirements addressing recurring weaknesses identified in suppliers' Quality Management Systems (e.g., from second-party audits or past quality problems). These often come with specific instructions for auditors.
