Overview and Impact of the Automotive Functional Safety Standard ISO 26262 Webinar
I.D. # WB1134 Duration 4.5 Hours
ISO 26262: Road Vehicle - Functional Safety is now becoming a condition of compliance for doing business in the automotive sector. The Scope states: ¿ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that include one or more electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems and that are installed in series production passenger cars with a maximum gross vehicle mass up to 3,500 kg…"

This course provides background for reading and applying the standard and explains its scope, the major differences from the general safety standard IEC 61508, and how the scope changes with the introduction of new systems. The vocabulary of the standard is used to enable participants to engage in the context of the standard and a selected list of acronyms is provided as reference. An overview of all parts of the standard is provided and its impact is explained, without lengthy examples requiring days of workshop attendance.

Learning Objectives
By connecting with this webinar, you will be able to use the standard to:
  • Determine if and how the scope of ISO 26262 applies to your system or component
  • Plan a Safety Case based on ISO 26262
  • Prepare or reply to Development Interface Agreement compliant to ISO 26262
  • Determine the safety goals and Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL)
  • Determine the HW requirements based on ASIL
  • Determine the SW requirements based on ASIL
Who Should Attend
This webinar would be especially valuable for engineers and managers that desire an overview of the standard¿s content, without attending a multi-day workshop or following lengthy technical examples in order to become skilled practitioners. This includes those involved in product development for vehicle manufacturers or suppliers whose products contain electronics or software; engineering quality professionals including SPICE, CMMI, and internal process assessment; attorneys involved in Product Liability; and supplier quality engineers. Webinar participants should have an engineering degree. Knowledge of automotive product development and electronics or software is helpful. It is recommended that you have a copy of the ISO 26262 Standard, but it is not required. However, the standard is required for application after the course is completed.
