Module 2: From Risk Analysis to Technical Safety Concept according to ISO 26262 2nd Edition is a full-day course focusing on volumes 3 - concept phase, 4 - product development at system level and parts of volume 8 - supporting processes and volume 9 - ASIL and safety-related analyses. Module 2 is primarily aimed at those responsible for the creation and processing of functional, concept and system development projects as well as all users of ISO 26262. In the training and practical exercises, participants are familiarized with how to carry out a risk analysis. They then derive the safety objectives for the functional safety concept. In addition, they receive an introduction to the creation of system requirements and learn how to develop a technical safety concept in the system phase. You will learn about the special features of the various roles such as OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2 and the practical application using examples for the automotive industry in this system phase. After completing this module, you will know the most important steps of concept and system development according to ISO 26262 as well as the prerequisites for the subsequent phases such as hardware and software development.

ISO 26262 functional safety is an international standard that regulates functional safety in electrical and electronic systems consisting of hardware and software components of road vehicles. Compliance to ISO 26262 is crucial for the OEMs, automotive suppliers to ensure human safety and automotive development.

ISO 26262 functional safety standard specifies a framework for safety- related systems to be applied to assist the development of electrical and electronic systems that are installed in road vehicles, excluding mopeds. ISO 26262 sets an outline for measuring risk and determine risk classes known as ASILs (Automotive Safety Integrity Levels, or ASILs) and aims to reduce possible hazards in automotive systems. It defines the safety lifecycle from the concept phase until the decommissioning of the automotive product or system. It tracks and measures risks to ensure that an acceptable level of safety is achieved in the automotive product.

ISO 26262 Functional Safety Training and Certification Program trains individuals to have the technical knowledge and practical experience in understanding safety-related systems in road vehicles. When the individual has complete knowledge of the safety related systems they can take more informed steps on the ground, and avoid mishaps and risks. This would ensure steps to be taken at the initial stages and avoid any undue limitations at later stages that would lead to saving both time and money. It would also ensure employee, company and customer satisfaction to the highest levels.
