Scope of ASQMS
ASQMS covers the entire automotive‑software ecosystem. In addition to OEMs, the scope includes all software and software‑hardware integrated systems that directly or indirectly communicate and collaborate within the vehicle ecosystem.
Scope of applicable organizations
Eligible organizations include, but are not limited to:
- Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)
- System and component suppliers at all tiers
- Software developers and service providers
- Suppliers of equipment, facilities, and services required for vehicle use or maintenance
- Software tool providers
- Software outsourcing partners
Scope of applicable software and systems
Applies when the products and services an organization provides include one or more software items or software‑hardware integrated systems:
In‑vehicle software: Software installed and executed in the vehicle, including but not limited to:
- Powertrain control systems
- Chassis control systems
- Body control systems
- Intelligent driving
- Intelligent cockpit systems
- In‑vehicle information and entertainment applications
- Software that provides control, computation, communication, and application services, such as software embedded in sensors and actuators
Off‑vehicle software: Software outside the vehicle that interacts or interfaces with the vehicle or its in‑vehicle software, including but not limited to:
- Roadside software: Software systems deployed at fixed roadside locations that can communicate and collaborate with vehicles in operation
- Cloud‑side software: Software deployed on cloud servers that connects to vehicles via the internet to exchange data … for example, cloud control platforms that acquire or control vehicle status, and cloud platforms that provide various in‑vehicle application services.
- Field‑side software: Software systems for equipment or facilities deployed at fixed sites—for example, software for battery charging and swapping facilities, and vehicle access‑control systems.
- Software tools: Tools used across the entire software lifecycle, from creation through operation and maintenance to end‑of‑life
