In this tutorial, you'll look at how functional safety management spans the entire safety lifecycle - at the organizational level, in projects, and post-production.
DAkkS, the German National Accreditation Body, is a non-profit organization that acts as a central, national accreditation body for the Federal Republic of Germany.
Being an officially accredited C-type inspection body, we conduct functional safety assessments (FSA). Due to our competence performing inspections in the field of functional safety of systems, components, hardware and software for automotive applications, we are listed by the German National Accreditation Body (DAkkS).
Accredition number D-IS-21267-01
Functional safety protects systems from malfunctions and thus also protects people from vehicles. This contrasts to security, which is about protecting your vehicle from other people and malicious attacks from cyberspace.
Our expertise allows us to address both process requirements and ensure that you benefit from protective measures from a single source.

In the specialist article for HanserAutomotive, the authors describe their experiences conducting HAZOP and fault tree analysis on software architectures.
In his article in iX kompakt (edition 9, 2010), Bertram Janositz explains the implications ISO 26262 has for development processes.
In their article for iX kompakt (edition 1, 2011), safety experts Peter Löw, Roland Pabst and Erwin Petry show how specialists go through several rounds of assessments to check whether a new vehicle was developed in keeping with ISO 26262.
In their article for iX kompakt (edition 1, 2011) Peter Löw, Roland Pabst and Erwin Petry provide an introduction to the ISO 26262 automotive safety standard, as used in the development of serial vehicles. Their article is based on a chapter from the specialist manual on functional safety in practice.
At the German National Accreditation Body (DAkkS), we are listed as an C-type inspection body and carry out assessments for functional safety (FSA).

This introductory module is a fast-track and systematic point of entry to the concept underlying functional safety according to ISO 26262. As well as looking at examples and running through exercises, you will also be shown connections and overlaps and see how tools are implemented in practice.
ISO 26262 requires a systematic approach in order to safeguard the functional safety of electronic components used in vehicles. This course looks at the demands placed on management both on an organisational level and within actual projects.
Day 3 deals with the risks associated with electronic products on a vehicle level in order to introduce required safety mechanisms to hardware and software. This course shows everything that needs to be done to deal with vehicle and system safety.
The job performed by hardware used in vehicle electronic products is to implement safety mechanisms. To validate the reliability of hardware, ISO 26262 provides a fault model.
ISO 26262 expects specific methods to be used, beyond good software engineering and Automotive SPICE®. This course explains the issues that need to be considered during software development and how to deal with these issues in practical terms.
