Discover IAF Automotive Standards
The International Automotive Federation (IAF) maintains a performance-based suite of standards that help vehicles, components, and mobility systems meet global benchmarks for Safety, Sustainability & Emissions, Digital Systems Integrity, and Smart Mobility & Driver Experience—extended with Quality Management, Expert Evaluation, Spare Parts, Automotive Efficiency, Process Compliance, and EV Charging. Designed for manufacturers, suppliers, and regulators, these standards improve reliability, interoperability, and compliance across the entire value chain.

ExploreNote: All IAF automotive standards presented on this page are currently in the development phase. These frameworks represent early draft concepts intended to illustrate the Federation’s ongoing standardization roadmap. Each standard will undergo further review, refinement, and technical validation in collaboration with expert members, industry committees, and specialized working groups. The contents shown here are not final and will evolve through iterative consultation and consensus-building to ensure full international relevance, rigor, and alignment with regulatory expectations.
