This document establishes the general environmental, mechanical and quality requirements pertaining to IC's. It also describes the qualification and production acceptance procedures performed by the supplier. It is to be used as a guideline which device buyers can apply wholly or in part as appropriate for their needs and applications. This document is essentially part number independent. The detail specification particular to a device part number will be given separately, containing all detailed electrical and mechanical parameters.

This compilation of terms, acronyms and symbols was drawn from usage which should be familiar to those working in automotive electronics reliability. Terms are included which are used to describe how items, materials and systems are evaluated for reliability, how they fail, how failures are modeled and how failures are prevented. Terms are also included from the disciplines of designing for reliability, testing and failure analysis as well as the general disciplines of Quality and Reliability Engineering. This glossary is intended to augment SAE J1213, Glossary of Automotive Electronic Terms.

This document addresses robustness of electrical/electronic modules for use in automotive applications. Where practical, methods of extrinsic reliability detection and prevention will also be addressed. This document primarily deals with electrical/electronic modules (EEMs), but can easily be adapted for use on mechatronics, 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. It is recommended that the robustness of semiconductor devices and other components used in the EEM be assured using SAE J1879 OCT2007, Handbook for Robustness Validation of Semiconductor Devices in Automotive Applications.
