SGS issued an ISO 26262 Functional Safety Product Certification and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with SaiMotu Technology.
On June 8, 2021, SGS TUV Saar (Global Functional Safety Technology Center) issued a product certification certificate to SaiMotu Technology. SIM Pro has full independent intellectual property rights and covers the requirements of intelligent connected vehicle simulation testing, validation, and evaluation in entirety.
Zheng Wei, the head of functional safety in SGS China, said, “It is a great honor to award the world’s first functional safety product certification for simulation testing, validation and evaluation toolchain. Both parties will jointly carry out research and practice on functional safety and expected functional safety of intelligent connected vehicles, build a new testing, validation, evaluation, and certification system, and serve the automotive industry chain enterprises.”
Testing and validation is a critical link for intelligent connected vehicle products to achieve mass production and safe operation. The “multi-pillar method” composed of simulation, closed venues, actual roads, etc. has been widely recognized. As a new testing, validation, and evaluation method, it has been identified as a key principle and focus of work in the United Nations World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) “Automatic Driving Car Framework Document.” The European Union, the United States, Japan, etc. have all clearly stated in their autonomous driving-related guidelines that the “multi-pillar method” is an important method for autonomous driving testing and validation. SaiMotu Technology has a high-deterministic, high-confidence, and high-reliability simulation testing, validation, and evaluation toolchain, a high-standard closed testing site, and domestic cities actual road testing management service qualifications. In specific practices, based on functional safety and expected functional safety-related standards, it meets the product process assurance requirements of OEMs and supply chains, provides a comprehensive solution for the safety testing and validation of whole vehicles and driving automation systems, and opens up various environmental tests.
Today, with the rapid rise of intelligent driving technology, the global autonomous driving industry is led by China with over 20% market share. However, technology integration and market education urgently require industry normative and standard guidance. SGS and SaiMotu Technology have the same concept and compatible capabilities, and have decided to form an exclusive strategic partnership in the field of functional safety and expected functional safety, jointly serving the global automotive industry.
