Automotive Qualified Product
Common Requirements for Automotive-Grade Products
The quality standards for automotive electronics are more stringent than those for general consumer electronics. Any reliability issue with a car component could pose a threat to the driver's life.
To meet the high standard requirements for operating temperature, durability, and reliability in automotive environments, designers and suppliers must adopt advanced technologies and rigorous testing procedures to achieve optimized design methods.
In addition to focusing on the electrical properties and operating environments of electronic components, stress and structural considerations are expanded to include testing and ensuring product lifespan, product structure, and assembly quality, such as pull-force tests, solder ball joint strength tests, and bending tests.
IATF 16949 ｜
Global Automotive Quality Management System Certification
IATF 16949 applies to the entire automotive supply chain. It is an exclusive quality management system for the automotive manufacturing industry that standardizes product design, development, production, installation, and service. Its core spirit emphasizes "process management" and "customer focus," actively promoting the realization of "zero defects" in automotive manufacturing processes.
AEC-Q100 ｜
Automotive Electronics Council
The Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) sets automotive-grade verification standards. The AEC-Q100 (IC chip) test conditions are more stringent than those for consumer-grade ICs, including additional specifications such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) verification.
