Engineering Overview of ISO 26262

Engineering overview training on automotive functional safety

This two-day introductory training course covers the full 12-part ISO 26262:2018 Road vehicles – Functional safety standard for automotive systems, with an emphasis on the standard’s impact on engineering processes and products. This course utilizes multiple interactive examples throughout to demonstrate key concepts of ISO 26262 implementation.

Upon successful completion of this training, you will be able to:

• apply key safety management concepts for automotive electronic programs.
• recognize potentially hazardous risks and malfunctioning behaviors of electronics and software-intensive systems.
• implement ISO 26262 engineering processes in your hardware, software and systems engineering development programs.
• understand and compute the hardware fault metrics as described in ISO 26262, Part 5.
• develop embedded system software for safety related systems according to the requirements of ISO 26262, Part 6.
• understand the functional safety life cycle according to ISO 26262, Parts 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
• identify changes made in the second edition of ISO 26262 including expanded scope for heavy trucks and buses, motorcycles and semiconductors.
