Description / Abstract:
Introduction
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations. Note: In the event of conflict
between the English and domestic language, the English language
shall take precedence.
Purpose. This document is the base of general
hardware requirements for Electrical/Electronic (E/E) components.
It shall be referenced in each Component Technical Specification
(CTS) or Subsystem Technical Specification (SSTS). It is intended
to be a guideline when creating a CTS/SSTS, and a guideline for
suppliers when implementing the requirements of the CTS/SSTS. It is
one of the documents the supplier receives with the Request For
Quotation (RFQ) of automotive E/E components.
Applicability. This specification describes
hardware requirements which apply to E/E components. This
specification also provides descriptions, recommended circuits, and
parameters to be specified for most standard inputs and outputs.
These definitions are intended to be used for E/E components. This
includes, but is not limited to, Powertrain, Chassis, Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Interior, Body, Closures,
Exterior, and Electrical. This document may be used to cut and
paste requirements into a CTS/SSTS, or may be used to eliminate
sections of the CTS/SSTS by referencing the appropriate section of
this document.
Remarks. Within this document, the following
conventions are applied:
The word "shall" is to be used in the following ways:
a. To state a binding requirement on the E/E component or the
interfaces which comprise the E/E component, which is verifiable by
external manipulation and/or observation of an input or output.
b. To state a binding requirement upon an E/E component’s
requirements document that is verifiable through a review of the
document.
The word "must" is used to indicate that a
binding requirement exists on components or devices which are
outside the scope of this specification.
The word "will" is used to state an immutable
law of physics.
The word "should" is used to denote a
preference or desired conformance.
