This means that ROHM's component development process for the automotive field is recognized as meeting the highest safety level in the standard 'ASIL-D'. The 'ISO26262' standard is the development of electronic and high-performance automotive Under the increasingly stringent automotive safety performance requirements, it was developed and published in 2011 as an international standard for functional safety in the automotive industry.
In recent years, the process of technological innovation represented by ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) has been accelerating. To ensure the safety of automobiles, the semiconductors that make up vehicle components have to meet their own safety standards.
Tobias Schweinfurter, chairman and general manager of TUV Rheinland Japan Co., Ltd., said that in recent years, the ISO26262 automotive functional safety requirements for component levels have become increasingly stringent. At the same time, ISO26262 is also the hottest topic recently – automatic driving (ADAS). ) Certification standards indispensable for relevant technological innovations. It is expected that in the second edition issued this year, not only will the target range be extended to buses, trucks, and two-wheeled vehicles, but also semiconductors will be added. Semiconductor components will be used to support autonomous driving. The core product of functional safety has become the focus of attention. In this context, ROHM has obtained ISO 26262 process certification as a semiconductor manufacturer. This means ROHM's commitment to stably supplying functional safety products that meet the ASIL D product development process. The components' customers also have very important significance.
Since its establishment, ROHM has been adhering to the 'Quality First' corporate goal, adopting a 'vertical integration' system that is developed and manufactured entirely within the group, implementing high-quality concepts in all processes, and striving to achieve effective traceability. Supply Chain Optimization. In terms of vehicle-level components, ROHM has created a special production line for automotive products and has followed the automotive industry quality management system 'IATF 16949' and the electronic components reliability standard 'AEC-Q100', 'AEC-Q100101', ' AEC-Q100200' to promote product development.
In the automotive field, the role of electronic components is increasingly important. ROHM will take this opportunity to achieve ISO 26262 development process certification, redouble its efforts to create more secure products, and through this product to create safe, safe, environmentally friendly cars Social contribution power.
