Handbook Robustness Validation for EE Modules
Handbook for Robustness Validation of Automotive Electrical/Electronic Modules
This document addresses robustness of electrical/electronic mod-ules for use in automotive applications. Where practical, methods of extrinsic reliability detection and prevention will also be ad-dressed. This document primarily deals with electrical/electronic modules (EEMs), but can easily be adapted for use on mechatron-ics, sensors, actuators and switches. EEM qualification is the main scope of this document. Other procedures addressing random failures are specifically addressed in the CPI (Component Process Interaction) section 10. This document is to be used within the context of the Zero Defect concept for component manufacturing and product use.

This Robustness Validation Handbook provides the automotive electrical/electronics community with a common qualification methodology to demonstrate robustness levels necessary to achieve a desired reliability.
To assure robustness of semiconductor devices and other components used in the EEM, ZVEI Handbook for Robustness Validation of Semiconductor Devices in Automotive Applications is recommended.
