Automotive rating, which standard? AEC-Q?

HelloESDsource 

Automotive qualified means AEC-Q100 qualification. They parts will be tested and qualified acc to guidelines of AEC-Q.
MAX20499 product webpage and the datasheet lists AEC-Q100 accordingly, too. 

The FAQ you refer to is, I believe, an old repository and meant for some very old parts, where other qualifications were done at that time.

I would like it if "Automotive qualified means AEC-Q100 qualification" was true and meant something to automotive companies, but this isn't sufficient.

The product page does NOT list AEC-Q100 for MAX20499C. It does for MAX20499.
The datasheet does NOT list AEC-Q100 for MAX20499C. It does for MAX20499.

They say, "-40°C to +125°C Grade 1 Automotive Temperature Range", which I would _assume_ would be AEC-Q100, but I like my job, so I choose not to make assumptions like that.

Where can I find data showing that this part is AEC-Q100 qualified?
