The following documents have been established by the AEC Component Technical Committee to define common electrical component qualification requirements. These documents contain detailed qualification and requalification requirements and include unique test methods and guidelines for the use of generic data. Components meeting these specifications are suitable for use in the harsh automotive environment without additional component level qualification testing. Suppliers may advertise components meeting these specifications without restrictions, but the specifications cannot be changed without the approval of the Sustaining Members (currently Aptiv, Autoliv, Bose Corporation, Continental, Cummins, Delphi Technologies, Denso International America, Gentex, Harman, Hella, John Deere Electronic Solutions (Phoenix International), Kostal Automotive, Lear Corporation, Magna Electronics, Sirius XM, Valeo, Visteon and ZF TRW Automotive).

NOTE (dated August 20, 2013): The AEC - Q100-005 document was revised to correct errors that occurred during the publication process. The Rev-D1 document is the version approved by the AEC Technical Committee.
NOTE (dated March 12, 2013): The AEC - Q100-011 document was revised to correct symbol errors that occurred during the conversion to PDF format. The revision only affects Table 4, Component Classification levels C4B and C6, where the >= symbol was inadvertently replaced with the = symbol. No other modifications have been made to the document.
Notice from the AEC Technical Committee: Supplements to TS-16949 are not allowed by the governing body (IATF/IAOB), only customer specifics. The authors of the QS-9000 Semi Supplement modified the document to be fully aligned with the new TS document and published it as ISO/TS-16949: Customer Specific Requirements - Semiconductor Commodity. The AEC did not issue the document as a supplement, but only as a document that was available for anyone to adopt as their customer requirement for semiconductor suppliers. Thus, the AEC posted the document on the website allowing anyone to take it, use it as is, or use it as a starting point for their own customer requirements. While TS16949 is required, the details, including what to do for semiconductors, is left up to each individual user for their specific requirements. The AEC was unable to communize the specific requirements, the document became inactive, and the AEC Technical Committee elected to remove the document from the website.
