Automotive Electronic Equipment (BODY & CHASSIS, INFOTAINMENT) C 2 AEC-Q200 qualified products: Products with the reliability required for infotainment and vehicle body applications
Industrial Telecommunications Infrastructure and Industrial Equipment B 2 Products that meet reliability requirements for telecommunications infrastructure and industrial equipment that needs to dependably operate 24 hours a day for long periods of time even in harsh outdoor conditions.
Medical Medical Devices classified as GHTF Class C (Japan Class III) M 2 Products with the reliability required for medical devices that may pose a relatively high risk to the patient in the event of malfunction.
Medical Devices classified as GHTF Classes A or B (Japan Classes Ⅰ or Ⅱ) L 3 Products for medical devices that may pose a relatively low risk to the patient in the event of malfunction and are used under conditions similar to those for general consumer electronic equipment.
What is the AEC-Q200?

Standards for automotive electronic components (de facto industry standards)Standards have been established to ensure high reliability in terms of high temperature, high humidity, heat resistance, shock resistance, durability, etc.
