On October 23, 2024, Microvast's fifth-generation BMS product received the ISO 26262 ASIL C functional safety product certification from DEKRA, an international independent third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization. This certification marks a new chapter in the safety and reliability of Microvast's Battery Management System (BMS), further demonstrating its product strength and competitiveness in the field of power batteries. The certification ceremony was held at Microvast's Huzhou facility, with attendance by Xiao Ningqiang, Dean of Microvast's Product Research Institute, and Liu Jie, Technical Manager of Functional Safety at DEKRA China.

ISO 26262 is a functional safety standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for automotive electronic systems. It aims to ensure the safety of these systems and prevent faults and errors that could lead to accidents or personal injury. With the continuous development and popularization of new energy vehicle technology, consumers have raised higher requirements for the safety and reliability of vehicles and their supporting products. ISO 26262 certification has become an important credential for companies to prove that their products meet industry standards and possess high levels of safety, helping them enhance market competitiveness and user trust.

Microvast's fifth-generation BMS product, which obtained the certification, includes a main control board, slave control board, adapter board, and electrical control box. Following the SEOOC development approach, it covers concept, system, hardware, software, support components, and safety analysis. The development process adheres to functional safety management procedures, leveraging years of technical expertise and industry benchmarking. Considerations were made to prevent battery thermal runaway and electric shock. The hardware development, from chip selection to product testing, fully complies with functional safety technical and procedural requirements. The software aligns with the AUTOSAR architecture and meets the functional safety goals of ASIL C.
