Hyundai Transys reported on the 18th that it received the international standard for automotive functional safety, 'ISO 26262 Functional Safety Management (FSM),' certification from the global testing certification agency TÜV Rheinland at its electrification research and development center located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.
ISO 26262 is the international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011 to prevent accidents caused by automotive component failures.
Hyundai Transys explained that its powertrain product development and management processes meet the international standards of ISO 26262 and that it has a system in place to respond to the requirements of global original equipment manufacturers for powertrains, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, and electric vehicles.
Hyundai Transys's major electronic components in the automotive drive systems, such as the transmission control unit (TCU), oil pump control unit (OPU), and motor control unit (MCU), have received the highest safety functional level of ISO 26262, labeled 'ASIL (automotive safety integrity level) D.'
Hyundai Transys is developing an 'integrated electric vehicle drive system (EDS)' in accordance with the functional safety international standard, which will be supplied to Saudi Arabian electric vehicle manufacturer Ceer.
Hyundai Transys entered into a contract last June with Ceer to supply integrated electric vehicle drive systems worth 3 trillion won over a period of 10 years starting in 2027.
Kim Seok-jun, head of Hyundai Transys's electrification research and development center, said, 'By obtaining the ISO 26262 FSM certification, we have proven the safety and quality excellence of Hyundai Transys's electrified powertrain products,' adding, 'We will accelerate our efforts to penetrate the global market based on products with high safety standards.'
