China Issues Five Auto-Chip Certification Standards in World-First Evaluation System
China's State Administration for Market Regulation has approved five certification and accreditation industry standards, including general evaluation requirements for automotive chip institutional certification review. The standards form the world's first national-level capability evaluation framework covering institutions across the entire automotive chip industry chain. Automotive chips are core components of intelligent connected vehicles and a strategic resource; previously, a lack of unified evaluation standards left domestic chips facing high entry barriers and weak market trust. The new framework provides professional guidance and operational rules for design, certification, testing, and computing power institutions, underpinning quality assurance from development to on-vehicle use.
The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), together with the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China, has recently approved five certification and accreditation industry standards, including "General Evaluation Requirements for Automotive Chip Institutional Certification Review." Together, the five standards constitute the world's first national-level capability evaluation standard system for institutions across the entire automotive chip industry chain, providing a unified basis for assessing institutional capability in the sector.
Automotive chips are core components of intelligent connected vehicles and a strategically important resource. Previously, the lack of a unified evaluation system meant domestic chips faced high entry barriers and low market trust in on-vehicle applications, constraining large-scale deployment. The newly released standards systematically establish a capability evaluation framework for institutions in the automotive chip field. They set out general evaluation requirements for automotive chip institutional certification review while providing professional guidance and operational procedures for capability evaluation of institutions engaged in design, certification, testing, and computing power. The aim is to safeguard the professionalism, consistency, and authority of certification review activities and to provide institutional support for quality assurance of domestic chips from research and development to on-vehicle application.
