Although the ISO 9001:2015 standard does not require a quality manual, most organizations are implementing or retaining a quality manual to express their policies and be a useful reference. However, the IATF 16949:2016 standard states in clause 7.5.1.1 that a quality manual is required.
Larry Whittington has developed a comprehensive 67-page IATF 16949:2016 Quality Manual template. The policies based on ISO 9001:2015 are shown in regular font. The policies unique to IATF:2016 are shown in Italics. There is a list of required documents in the Appendix that can be edited to become a reference to your procedures and other key documents.
ISO/TS 16949:2009 embedded ISO 9001:2008 and was a single standard that contained both sets of requirements. ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 were published as separate standards. The quality manual template includes a policy for every ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 requirement, and therefore, will be an integrated reference to both sets of requirements.
