SICC Receives ASIL D Functional Safety Certification

Recently, Contemporary Amperex Intelligence Technology (Shanghai) Limited (CAIT-SH) received an ASIL D product certificate for automotive functional safety under ISO 26262:2018 from SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd for its smart integrated chassis controller (SICC). It marked that the SICC meets all stringent requirements and examinations under ISO 26262 for functional safety across the SICC's entire lifecycle. The successful certification also testified to the continuous improvement made by CAIT-SH's R&D team in the SICC based on a robust functional safety product development framework and quality management system.

The SICC is a smart chassis domain control platform developed by CAIT-SH to meet the evolving demands of modern automotive electronic and electrical architectures. It is a key component of CAIT-SH's CATL integrated intelligent chassis (CIIC), enabling the decoupling of the upper and lower vehicle bodies and realizing digital capabilities of the skateboard chassis. Embodying a central integrated control concept, the SICC coordinates powertrain, steering, braking, ADS, and other systems to execute complex vehicle functions and deliver SOA services. It enhances vehicles' performance and elevates the driving experience through closed-loop data. For safety, the SICC incorporates diverse safety monitoring functions, including vehicle torque control, electronic parking brake control, gear management, high and low-voltage energy management, OTA, and intelligent scenario-based services, providing comprehensive assurance for safe operation of vehicles and a strong safety barrier for users.

ISO 26262 is an internationally recognized automotive functional safety standard and a crucial entry point for automotive EE component suppliers around the world. The successful ASIL D certification of CAIT-SH's SICC under ISO 26262 marked its full compliance with the standard's most stringent requirements and represented a significant international recognition of CAIT-SH's technological prowess in developing high-safety, high-reliability products.
