Foreword

Note on this edition: the English translation is based on the public consultation draft (2025) of this standard, the latest text in circulation. The final text issued by CNCA on 6 August 2026 has not yet been published in full; when it is, the translation is updated free of charge for buyers.

This document was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020.

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 the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA). Drafting organization: Certification and Accreditation Technology Research Center of the State Administration for Market Regulation. This document is issued for the first time.

Introduction

The transformation of the automotive industry towards electrification, intelligence, connectivity and sharing upgrades core vehicle functions such as perception, decision and control, and automotive chips are the hardware foundation that makes these functions safe and reliable. Testing and verification are a key step before a chip goes into a vehicle; they mainly cover reliability, safety and key performance testing.

The testing capability of domestic automotive chip testing organizations is uneven, and there are no specifications for the capability of such organizations, so test results are hard to compare and chip selection becomes more costly. This document is intended to guide the orderly development of testing organizations and to standardize their build-up, operation and management.

1 Scope

This document specifies requirements for the evaluation principles, evaluation content, evaluation methods and procedure, evaluation results and evaluation organization for the technical capability of automotive chip testing organizations.

This document is applicable to the build-up, operation management, capability recognition and supervision of automotive chip testing organizations.
