BUREAU VERITAS, TOP PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION BODY
We're very proud to share that Bureau Veritas Certification is being recognized by IAOB, the International Automotive Oversight Bureau, for its outstanding performance. It has been 5 years that IAOB measures the performance of the IATF 16949 certification bodies under its oversight. Four times Bureau Veritas Certification came in as finalist.
In the same period, out of all Certification Bodies under IAOB oversight, Bureau Veritas Certification was one of the certification bodies having the lowest portion of suppliers entering into the red supplier process:
Around 22,35% of the sites certified by Bureau Veritas Certification are supplying to GM, Ford or PSA hence subject to the red supplier process.
Only 10,44 % of these sites or 2,33 % of all sites certified by Bureau Veritas Certification have been affected by the Red Supplier Process.
This low percentage of sites entering the red supplier process underscores the effectiveness of Bureau Veritas' IATF 16949 certification approach, highlighting our organization's robust quality management systems and rigorous certification processes. The recognition of IAOB demonstrates Bureau Veritas Certification's:
