What Is ISO 26262?
ISO 26262 is the international standard for functional safety in road vehicles, focused on electrical, electronic, and software-based systems. The standard provides a complete safety lifecycle that addresses every phase of development — from initial concept and design to validation, production, operation, service, and decommissioning.
ISO 26262 ensures organizations:
- Identify potential hazards early
- Classify risks using Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL)
- Implement safety measures appropriate to the severity of risk
- Maintain safety requirements and traceability throughout the entire lifecycle
- Demonstrate that systems achieve and maintain an acceptable level of functional safety
The standard applies to everything from individual electronic components to complex integrated automotive systems.
Who Should Pursue ISO 26262 Certification?
ISO 26262 applies to any organization involved in developing or supporting automotive electrical, electronic, or software-controlled systems, including:
- Automotive OEMs
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers
- Hardware and software developers
- System integrators
- Component manufacturers
- Engineering service providers
Whether you develop a single module or an entire system, ISO 26262 provides the blueprint for achieving functional safety.
