Automotive SPICE^® and Functional Safety – Joint Approach

Automotive SPICE^® is a set standard in automotive ECU development. Many process improvement projects based on Automotive SPICE^® lead earlier to more mature processes. But another standard has tightened the requirements for automotive ECU development. ISO 26262 must be fulfilled in context of functional safety. Is SPICE now obsolete? Is it possible to guarantee and check mature processes and at the same time the fulfilment of ISO 26262?

This training focuses on differences and similarities of both standards. You will learn to understand the correlation and cooperation of ISO 26262 and Automotive SPICE^®. You will find out how to perform a joint assessment of the fulfilment of requirements of both standards! Together with other participants you will apply examples for a joint approach.
