Safety is one of the key issues in current and future automotive development, not only in the traditional areas of vehicle dynamic control and active/passive safety but also in the fields of intelligent driver assistance, autonomous driving, and intelligent cabins. The development of new functionalities increasingly focuses on system safety, hardware security, and software security. The integration of chips and the increased computational power required by these functionalities have led to increasingly complex software and hardware technologies, accompanied by an associated increase in risks from systemic failures and random hardware failures. The functional safety system strengthens the requirements for system safety and is a necessary process for the development of intelligent electronic products.

ISO 26262 is a functional safety standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for automotive electronic systems, with ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level-D) being the highest level of safety integrity. It aims to ensure the safety of automotive electronic systems and prevent faults and errors that could lead to accidents or personal injury. As automotive electronics technology continues to evolve and become more widespread, consumers have higher demands for vehicle safety and reliability. ISO 26262 certification has become an important credential for companies to demonstrate compliance with industry standards and high levels of safety, helping them enhance market competitiveness and build user trust. Through the DEKRA ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Process Certification, Mando Intelligent Drive demonstrates its alignment with international standards in the development and manufacturing of electrified and intelligent automotive components, showcasing its complete development system, rigorous development processes, and standardized and institutionalized quality and safety management practices.
