Automotive SPICE (Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination, referred to as ASPICE) is a standard for improving automotive software process and assessing the R&D capacity. The goal is to ensure that all parties involved in the process of the development of software and associated components adhere to the most advanced procedures so that risks can be minimized. Considered as the most valued certificate for software development in the world, Automotive SPICE is increasingly applied by a larger number of automakers and suppliers to assess the R&D capacity of a software development team.

At the certificate awarding ceremony, distinguished guests –  Dr. Frank Ko, CEO and President of AUO, Stan Zurkiewicz, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of DEKRA Group, and Mike Walsh Head of Asia Pacific – gathered together to witness this important moment. Stan Zurkiewicz, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of DEKRA Group, said in his opening remarks, “DEKRA has been committed to working with our global customers to address challenges of digitization and promote the transformation, upgrade, and sustainable development in the automotive industry. As early as 2020, DEKRA assisted AUO to secure ISO 26262 automotive functional safety certification. Going forward, DEKRA has continued the allyship with AUO and again, AUO is celebrating another great achievement of obtaining DEKRA ASPICE CL2 certification.”
