This document is one of the five standards of the automotive chip certification review series: RB/T 133 (general evaluation requirements), RB/T 134 (design organizations), RB/T 222 (certification bodies), RB/T 247 (testing organizations) and RB/T 248 (computing chip testing).

This document was proposed by and is under the jurisdiction of CNCA. This document is issued for the first time.

Introduction

As the global automotive industry moves towards electrification, intelligence and connectivity, automotive chips have become core strategic components whose performance directly affects functional safety, driving reliability and data security.

The technical capability of automotive chip certification bodies directly determines the credibility and effectiveness of the industry standards. A systematic evaluation of that capability helps to regulate the market, reduce repeated certification costs for companies and standardize the build-up, operation and management of certification bodies.

1 Scope

This document specifies the evaluation principles, evaluation methods and evaluation content of the technical capability of automotive chip certification bodies.

This document is applicable to certification bodies and other organizations providing certification review services when carrying out automotive chip certification review activities. Vehicle manufacturers may refer to it.
