About AECQ

 

AECQ is an automotive qualification standard established by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC), which was set up by Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors to create a unified parts qualification and quality system standard. AEC stands for "Automotive Electronics Council," a group formed by major automakers and key U.S. component manufacturers aimed at standardizing reliability and qualification standards for automotive electronic components. AEC has established quality control standards including AEC-Q100 (Integrated Circuits IC), AEC-Q101 (Discrete Devices), AEC-Q102 (Discrete Optoelectronic LEDs), AEC-Q103 (MEMS), AEC-Q104 (Multi-Chip Modules), and AEC-Q200 (Passive Components).

 

As an automotive certification standard, the testing conditions of AEC-Q100 are more stringent than those for consumer or industrial control chips. It specifies the experimental projects and conditions that various automotive components must complete to verify whether electronic components meet AEC-Q requirements.

 

Additionally, the handling methods for device manufacturing and design change notifications differ. For automotive-grade devices, re-certification and change notification requirements are much stricter than for industrial or commercial devices. For example, many minor process changes in industrial devices do not require notifying customers or re-certifying the device, but automotive devices must strictly comply with the change management specifications of AEC-Q100.

 

AEC-Q100 is a reliability test standard specification developed and implemented for automotive applications, automotive parts, and automotive onboard electronics. Its purpose is to establish quality management control standards and improve the stability and standardization of automotive electronics. AEC-Q100 certification is the entry ticket for integrated circuit manufacturers into the automotive field. Although it is not a mandatory certification system, it has become a common testing standard in the automotive electronics industry.
