Electronic Industry Standards for the Automotive Market
The Global Electronics Association has been delivering standards for the electronics industry for over 65 years. According to market research, electronic systems will account for over 50% of car costs by 2030 (Freescale/NXP).
We all know that various electronic systems within a vehicle have become more complicated and critical to its safe operation.
To ensure that electronics systems meet the high-reliability requirements demanded by the automotive industry, Global Electronics Association is working with the electronics industry to deliver the quality standards required to meet these stringent automotive requirements.
