ISO26262 Insights

What is ISO26262?

ISO 26262 is an international standard for functional safety of electrical/electronic (E/E) systems in passenger vehicles. It addresses possible hazards caused by malfunctioning behavior of E/E systems, including interaction of these systems. It provides a risk-based approach to determine Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) and specifies safety requirements for each ASIL. The standard covers all stages of the automotive safety lifecycle, from concept to decommissioning. It's commonly used by automotive manufacturers and suppliers to develop and assess the safety of automotive E/E systems, aiming to minimize risks to an acceptable level.
