About ISO 26262 Road vehicles – Functional Safety
ISO 26262 (Road vehicles – Functional Safety) is the most important international standard for functional safety of electrical and/or electronic systems that are installed in serial production road vehicles. The goal of ISO 26262 is to ensure that these systems perform reliably and safely under all operating conditions. This standard is widely used in the automotive industry to manage and reduce the risks associated with the malfunction of systems, ensuring vehicle safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.
ISO 26262 is applicable throughout the entire automotive supply chain, from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and even down to component and software providers. The standard covers all phases of the product lifecycle, including concept, design, development, production, operation, and decommissioning. For OEMs, ISO 26262 compliance is often a mandatory requirement for suppliers, as it ensures that all safety-related components and systems meet the necessary functional safety standards. ISO 26262 is applicable to manufacturers producing e.g. the following types of products: electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, actuators, semiconductors, microcontrollers, embedded software, wiring and connectors and electronic modules. Suppliers who adhere to ISO 26262 not only demonstrate their commitment to safety but also gain a competitive advantage in the market by aligning with the strict safety expectations of OEMs.
