Recently, with the support of ANDA, Tianjin Ukong Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ukong") officially passed the DEKRA ISO 26262:2018 ASIL-D functional safety process certification and received the authoritative certification certificate. As the highest-level requirement in the automotive functional safety domain, this ASIL-D certification signifies that Ukong's R&D processes, safety management system, and product reliability for its full-stack intelligent driving solutions have reached internationally top-tier standards, further consolidating its technical leadership and market competitiveness in the fields of automotive electronic control and intelligent driving.
As intelligent driving evolves towards higher levels of autonomy, system functional safety has become the core cornerstone for ensuring driving safety and winning market trust. The ISO 26262 standard, globally recognized as the authoritative framework for automotive functional safety, imposes the most stringent requirements on process rigor, technical comprehensiveness, and management system maturity through its highest-level ASIL-D certification.
Ukong's certification covers the full lifecycle process requirements of ISO 26262:2018, establishing a complete and continuously improvable functional safety process system spanning safety management, concept development, system and software/hardware development, to verification and validation, production and operation, and supporting processes. This system not only complies with international standards but also incorporates Ukong's years of practical experience in intelligent driving system development, providing a solid guarantee for the R&D and mass production of its ASIL-D level products.
