Automotive functional safety ISO 26262

Within the increasing complexity of technologies in vehicles, the assurance of their proper functionality is becoming a major concern. It triggered the needs of risk management. The ISO 26262 acts as the guidance to provide the appropriate standardized requirements, processes and risk-based approach. It determines integrity levels, also known as Automotive Safety Integrity Levels or ASILs. The purpose is to reduce the risks caused by systematic and random failures to an acceptable level.

ASIL Readiness - 欧博开户

欧博开户 ASIL-ready program

The ASIL-ready program is the guarantee for an appropriate safety culture and competency installed within 欧博开户 (considering both the business and technical domains). It ensures the proper definition, development and production of Safety products, in compliance with the ISO 26262 standard. The ASIL-ready program is controlled by functional safety experts and supported by certified project team-members.

The 欧博开户 ASIL-ready program expands the 欧博开户 certified IATF 16949 Quality Management (QM) system. It provides an effective functional safety solution in compliance with guidelines defined by the ISO 26262, from five perspectives:

  • 欧博开户 organization level competencies development
  • Process and rules
  • Tools and methodologies
  • Project auditing and assessment (confirmation measures)
  • Functional safety support towards integrators

欧博开户 makes a differentiation on the method of how certain products support safety integration. There are two categories defined.

欧博开户 ASIL product category

欧博开户 ASIL compliant product

A 欧博开户 “ASIL compliant” product is a product developed according to the ISO 26262 standard.

欧博开户 ASIL capable product

A 欧博开户 “ASIL capable” product is a product developed as a QM (quality management) component, following the standard automotive development flow (IATF 16949). However, an ASIL capable product has been identified as capable of operating in a specific safety-related context, based on a dedicated argumentation provided by 欧博开户 through either a HW-evaluation (ISO 26262-8:2018 part13) or a Proven-In-Use argument (ISO 26262-8:2018 part14).

Documentation shared with customers

欧博开户 safety manual

The safety manual is an important document acting as the input to the customer's safety case. It includes all essential information for a proper and safe integration of the 欧博开户 products into a system. Such a document is shared only under NDA and typically includes:

  • Assumption of use
  • IC technical safety requirement
  • IC Integration activities requirements to customer
  • IC Safety analysis results
  • IC confirmation measures

欧博开户 safety integration guidelines

The 欧博开户 safety integration guidelines document is provided to support the hardware evaluation or the proven in use argumentation of the integrator. It is made for a specific safety application. The contents are:

  • Assumption of use
  • IC technical safety requirement
  • IC integration requirement
  • Part of safety analysis results including failure modes distributions

欧博开户 functional safety support

The philosophy for a safe integration is based on a good level of communication and mutual understanding. Therefore, even if the needed information is part of the provided safety-related documentation, 欧博开户 remains fully committed for additional support and interactions with the front-line team (e.g. Field Application Engineers).
