The State Administration for Market Regulation recently officially released the upgraded version of the "Automotive Chip Certification and Review Technology System 2.0", and simultaneously launched the domestic automotive chip certification and review expert database and certification review digital platform, summarizing the phased achievements of the "Quality Strong Chain" project. Industry experts point out that the importance of automotive chips in the current era of intelligent connected vehicles is constantly increasing. The phased results released this time mark a key progress in China's construction of an independent and controllable automotive chip quality assurance system, which will contribute to the long-term development of related industries in China. The reporter learned that the "Quality Strong Chain" project is a strategic measure taken by the State Administration for Market Regulation to promote the high-quality development of China's automotive chip industry. From 2025 to present, the project has undergone scientific research and practical verification, completed relevant professional certification review technical specifications, and formed a set of certification review implementation rules and system documents; Build a digital platform for certification and review, and promote the establishment of a good operating model of platform co construction, information sharing, and ecological governance. The Certification and Accreditation Technology Research Center of the State Administration for Market Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the "Research Center") has issued a document stating that from a functional perspective, chips have become the "brain" and "nerve" of intelligent vehicles. A modern intelligent connected car needs to be equipped with 1000 to 2000 chips, which control all key functions of the vehicle such as power system, chassis control, intelligent cockpit, and autonomous driving. It is reported that the release of the "Automotive Chip Certification Review Technology System (Version 1.0)" has caused strong reactions in the industry. For industrial development, this system has played a significant role in promoting progress. The cumulative number of chip products that have passed the certification review has exceeded 20 million, forming an output value of over 10 billion yuan. The certification review system is like building a 'bridge of quality trust' between vehicle companies and chip companies. In the past, due to information asymmetry, the problem of downstream not daring to use and upstream not daring to invest was prominent. Now, through objective and fair testing and certification, reliable 'quality inspection reports' have been provided for the industrial chain. ”The person in charge of the National Automotive Chip Quality Inspection and Testing Center (preparatory) stated. A person in charge of a certain car company stated that the construction and improvement of the quality assurance system for automotive chips have laid a solid foundation for the standardized and orderly development of the entire industry. Certified chip products greatly enhance the independent and controllable capabilities of China's automotive industry chain. The 'Quality Strong Chain' project promotes the standardization of test reports and the sharing and mutual recognition of review conclusions, effectively solving the commercial pain points of uneven quality of chip test reports and improving the review efficiency of the entire enterprise. The recognition of the domestic chip industry continues to increase. Fifteen mainstream car companies, including FAW, Dongfeng, Changan, and BYD, have incorporated certification results into their supplier selection and product selection criteria. The certification review system has provided us with scientific and authoritative decision-making basis, and now we can use domestic chips with more confidence, "said a person in charge of a car company. The research center stated that the "Automotive Chip Certification and Review Technology System 2.0" will further expand the coverage of standards, strengthen new security requirements such as network security and functional security, and adapt to the new needs of the development of intelligent connected vehicles. The new version system will add new categories such as intelligent cockpit chips and automotive grade AI chips, and establish a standard dynamic update mechanism. (New Society)
