What is ISO 26262?
ISO 26262 is the international standard for automotive functional safety. It defines a framework for managing the safety of electrical and electronic systems in road vehicles, including hardware, software, components, semiconductors, and safety-related development tools.
The standard applies across the vehicle lifecycle, from concept and design to production, operation, servicing, and decommissioning. It is especially important for increasingly complex vehicle technologies such as ADAS, automated driving functions, electric and hybrid systems, and software-defined vehicle architectures.
By setting requirements for safety-related functions, development processes, and verification activities, ISO 26262 helps automotive manufacturers and suppliers reduce risk, demonstrate due diligence, and build confidence in the safety of their systems and products.
