Hyundai Transys Obtains International Standard for Automotive Functional Safety

TUV Rheinland ISO 26262 FSM Certification

Hyundai Transys has obtained the international automotive functional safety standard 'ISO 26262 Functional Safety Management (FSM)' certification, gaining international recognition for the functional safety of its powertrain products.

Hyundai Transys announced on the 18th that it received the ISO 26262 FSM certification from the global testing and certification organization 'T?V Rheinland' at its Electrification Research and Development Center located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

ISO 26262 is an international automotive functional safety standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011 to prevent accidents caused by automotive component failures. As the automotive market rapidly transitions to electrification, the safety of electrical and electronic components has become increasingly important, leading to a growing demand from global automakers for compliance with ISO 26262.

Hyundai Transys was evaluated as having powertrain product development and management processes that meet the international standards of ISO 26262, establishing a system capable of responding to the requirements of global automakers in the powertrain sector, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, and electric vehicles.

Additionally, Hyundai Transys was recognized as a company capable of independently developing key electronic components of automotive drivetrains, such as Transmission Control Units (TCU), Oil Pump Units (OPU), and Motor Control Units (MCU), at the highest functional safety level of ISO 26262, 'ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) D.'

In accordance with the certified functional safety international standard, Hyundai Transys is developing an 'Integrated Electric Drive System (EDS)' supplied to the Saudi Arabian electric vehicle manufacturer CEER. Hyundai Transys signed a supply contract worth 3 trillion KRW over 10 years starting in 2027 with CEER in June last year for the integrated electric drive system.

Kim Seok-jun, head of Hyundai Transys Electrification Research and Development Center, said, "By obtaining the ISO 26262 FSM certification, we have proven the safety and quality excellence of Hyundai Transys' electrified powertrain products," adding, "We will accelerate our global market expansion based on products with high safety assurance."
