The training program for ISO 21448 – Safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) offers a comprehensive understanding of the standard's implementation and its relationship to the ISO 26262 standard. It includes illustrative examples and brief exercises.

Upon successful completion of the course and examination, a certificate will be awarded, attesting to the candidate's knowledge in the field of SOTIF. With this certification you have the possibility to get listed on our Functional Safety Certification Program (FSCP). This offers you the best opportunity to demonstrate your expertise in accordance with ISO 21448.

The absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards resulting from functional insufficiencies of the intended functionality or by reasonably foreseeable misuse by persons is referred to as the Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF). Unlike traditional functional safety, which focuses on mitigating risks that happen because of system failures, SOTIF examines whether required safety functionalities can be ensured in unknown conditions and without a failure occurring.

This "ISO 21448 Complete Training" provides a comprehensive program to the public available specification ISO 21448:2022, and the therein featured topic of safety of the intended function (SOTIF). This course covers the essentials as well as the technical aspects in performance of the safety-relevant functions.

• This SOTIF training provides an insight into the implementation of the "Safety of the Intended Function" (SOTIF) according to the ISO 21448 specification and the relationship to the ISO 26262 standard.
• The SOTIF training includes examples and short exercises with a focus on the field of highly automated driving.

We can also offer this training course as in-house training on site in your company.
