Every QMS process is audited within each three-year cycle, following a yearly programme and the process approach, to confirm conformity with IATF 16949; customer-specific QMS requirements are sampled within these audits to confirm they are applied. Sanctioned Interpretation 14 keeps the cycle at three years but lets the organization set how often each process is audited within it according to risk and to internal and external performance, keeping the justification on file; across the cycle every process is sampled and checked against all requirements that apply, including ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and customer-specific requirements.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
