Robustness Validation for Electronic Devices, Modules and Systems

Members of

SAE Int. Automotive Electronic Syst. Reliability Standards Committee,
ZVEI German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers` Association,
AEC Automotive Electronics Council and
JSAE Japanese Society of Automotive Engineers

formed a joint task force to to settle a new Approach in Qualification.

The new "test to fail" qualification approach (instead of a “test-to-pass”), is a paradigm shift from "Fit for Standard" to "Fit for Application". It generates knowledge on the relevant component failure mechanisms that may occur at the boundaries of the specification limits.
