Getting automotive products compliant, from heat treatment to battery systems

Automotive programs face compliance requirements across multiple disciplines simultaneously. The Assessimus network addresses CQI-9 and AMS2750 heat treatment compliance, EMC test equipment, intelligent battery charging systems, and fleet battery management as a coordinated partner.

What compliance looks like in automotive

Few industries carry the compliance burden of aerospace and defense. The standards are exacting, the audit regimes are rigorous, and the consequences of non-compliance are severe, covering rejected submissions, failed audits, and program delays. The Assessimus network was built to reduce that burden.

Key challenges

CQI-9 heat treatment compliance

Automotive OEMs and their supply chains require heat treatment facilities to demonstrate compliance with CQI-9, including documented TUS records, calibrated profiling equipment, and process documentation that survives customer audits.

EMC compliance for vehicle electronics

Vehicle electronics and EV systems must meet CISPR and IEC 61000 commercial EMC requirements. Compliance labs need correctly specified and calibrated test equipment, as the wrong instruments will invalidate results.

Battery system performance and charging

As electrification accelerates, automotive programs face new requirements around battery health, charging system performance, and EU Battery Regulation obligations. Getting the battery strategy right from the start avoids costly redesigns later.

OEM charging system integration

Vehicle manufacturers integrating battery-powered systems need charging solutions matched precisely to their battery specification. Generic chargers that are not chemistry-matched degrade the asset they are designed to maintain.

CQI-9 is the AIAG Special Process: Heat Treat System Assessment. It defines requirements for heat treatment processes in the automotive supply chain, including documented TUS records, instrument calibration, furnace classification, and process control. Compliance is required by most automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers for heat treatment facilities in their supply chain, and regular CQI-9 assessments are typically a condition of supply approval.

The EU Battery Regulation introduces new requirements for batteries placed on the EU market, including due diligence on raw material sourcing, carbon footprint declarations, performance and durability thresholds, and a digital battery passport for certain categories. Automotive manufacturers integrating batteries into vehicles are subject to these requirements and need to plan compliance from the product design stage rather than retroactively.

Yes. The Assessimus network supports OEMs directly with OEM charging solutions, battery management platforms, and pre-compliance reviews, and supports the supply chain with heat treatment profiling, material testing, and EMC equipment. Because these services are delivered through the same network, multi-tier programs can be coordinated without separate supplier relationships at each level.
