After strict review by professional institutions, Changguang Huaxin successfully passed the IATF16949:2016 quality management system certification, marking that Changguang Huaxin has obtained the authoritative and necessary access qualification in the extremely demanding automotive parts market, laying a foundation for expanding the automotive LiDAR market.

“ IATF16949 Quality Management System Certification

“ What is IATF 16949?

IATF16949 The full name is "Quality Management System—Special Requirements for Automotive Production and Relevant Service Parts Implementing ISO9001," which is the global automotive industry's technical specification and quality management standard. IATF 16949 imposes stricter and more detailed requirements on product quality control. It is based on the theory and methods of total quality management, absorbing and referencing the practices and views of world-renowned quality experts. It is a quality-centered, comprehensive, and integrated management approach and philosophy, hailed as a condensed MBA and the inevitable model for future manufacturing quality management.

“ Changguang Huaxin Strength Advancement

Since 2021, Changguang Huaxin has been preparing for the IATF16949 quality management system certification. With the support of senior company leadership and collaboration across departments, the company has steadily advanced system organization work. From customer service to supplier management, from product R&D to production and shipment, from company operations and strategic planning to individual instruments, parts, and data, the company fully implements Changguang Huaxin's quality policy of "Huaxin products, technology leadership, environmental protection, regulatory compliance, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement."

“ Changguang Huaxin LiDAR Chips

As one of the few IDM semiconductor laser companies globally with 6-inch epitaxy and wafer manufacturing key process capabilities, Changguang Huaxin consistently adheres to high standards and strict requirements in the design, production, and quality management of automotive radar chips, establishing a benchmark for domestically produced laser chips. Automotive LiDAR applications require not only stringent automotive-grade system standards but also high product performance. With the development of LiDAR technology, VCSEL array light sources have gained increasing attention in the LiDAR market due to their low manufacturing cost, small temperature drift coefficient, and ease of two-dimensional integration. Changguang Huaxin's VCSEL LiDAR chips feature high peak power, low divergence angle, and high efficiency. Multi-junction VCSELs for LiDAR applications can achieve higher peak power with a smaller emitting area, thereby reducing the complexity of optical systems.

Currently, Changguang Huaxin has established cooperative relationships with many leading domestic LiDAR manufacturers, aligning with customer project schedules. The product stages cover early prototyping and small batch trials, with several products meeting key customer requirements. This automotive-grade certification will further accelerate mass product supply.

Changguang Huaxin will always be market-oriented and customer-centered, fully leveraging its technological leadership and IDM process manufacturing platform advantages in laser chip design, production, packaging, and testing. It will continue to maintain and improve work efficiency and product quality, enhance market competitiveness, and create a new benchmark for China's LiDAR chip design and production applications. Where the heart goes, the light follows.
