Hyundai Mobis Earns Top ISO 26262 Certification for Entire Semiconductor R&D Process

Hyundai Mobis has obtained the highest grade of ISO 26262 certification, an international standard for functional safety, for its entire vehicle semiconductor R&D process. It is noted that this rigorous certification was obtained not for specific products, but for the entire process ranging from semiconductor design to quality verification.

This certification means that when Hyundai Mobis designs semiconductors through the standardized R&D process in the future, the semiconductors designed through the process will have the same level of reliability as those certified as products. Hyundai Mobis plans to actively share these achievements and know-how with its major partners and take the lead in expanding the domestic automotive semiconductor ecosystem.

Hyundai Mobis announced on the 21st that it has obtained ISO 26262: 2018 2nd edition from Exida, a world-renowned automotive functional safety and cybersecurity certification agency based in Germany. ISO 26262 is an international standard for preventing safety accidents in automotive electrical and electronic systems.

Along with ISO 26262 certification, Hyundai Mobis received the highest D grade in the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL). ASIL is divided into four levels from A to D, with D requiring a strict reliability of 99% or higher to prevent safety accidents.

With this certification, Hyundai Mobis has proven its semiconductor design capabilities and technological stability through an authoritative external institution. These achievements can be attributed to Hyundai Mobis' acquisition of Hyundai Autron in 2021, which enabled the company to begin mass production of its own semiconductors this year, backed by its industry-leading R&D environment.
