Functional Safety – better with us to be safe

Manufacturers and suppliers have to be able to prove to customers and licensing authorities that electronic systems will deliver the required functionality safely and reliably, despite increasing complexity. As an independent organization we can assess and ensure the functional safety of your products in all phases of the safety life cycle.

We have the right experts and methods for every application. To develop safe products we apply functional safety standards such as ISO/DIS 26262, DIN EN 61508 and DIN EN 5012x. It thereby makes sense to also include quality standards for processes and workflows in accordance with IRIS, CMMI® or Automotive SPICE®.

For reasons of efficiency the generic safety standard for functional safety IEC 61508 and the specific automotive standard ISO/DIS 26262 or the CENELEC standards EN 5012X for railway applications should be considered together. Integrated with de-facto standards for development such as IRIS, CMMI®, and Automotive SPICE® they ensure technically reliable, available, maintainable, and functionally safe systems.

We can support you in the following applications around functional safety

• Developing your processes further so that you are able to develop and market technically reliable, available, maintainable, and functionally safe products
• Assessing whether a supplier has the capability to reliably contribute the appropriate components
• Evaluating the functional safety of your products and components

An enormous amount of expertise under one roof

We can deliver this combination of assessments and improvements from one hand. Our results and recommendations will thereby consider aspects of functional safety as well as e.g. CMMI® or Automotive SPICE® requirements. Coordinated well they will give you twice the benefit.
