    The IATF are not in its second year of grading the Certification Bodies who are accredited for IATF 16949 audits. The grades are: Gold, silver and bronze. Intertek, once again, "won". It appears that there's no silver or bronze award winners, but there are 3 "honorable mention" gold level CBs - SAI Global is one, and 3 gold "finalists", BV QI and SRI being 1 of the 3. But these aren't "silver" award status, it seems.

    Does anyone else see any logic? Oh, and by the way, one of the strategic goals of IATF next year is to establish KPIs by which to measure CB performance... (How did the above CBs performance get measured?).

    I'll be the first to admit I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I feel like I'm being taken as being stupid... Anyone help?

    They're ALL winners! ;-) Sounds like the whole soccer trophy thing.
