Functional Safety according to ISO 26262

With our expertise in functional safety according to ISO 26262, we support you in mastering safety-critical aspects of your products. We not only offer training and consulting services, but also accompany you through the entire life cycle of your projects - from item definition to hazard and risk analysis (HARA) to the safety case (safety case). Our expertise extends to functions that have been rated ASIL D.

Our services

Our services cover all phases of safety-related development:

Our experienced experts in the field of functional safety offer individual advice to train your team specifically and provide practical insights. In addition to this tailor-made advice, we also conduct internal training courses aimed at implementing the ISO 26262 series of standards. These training courses are designed to create a deep understanding of the requirements of the standard and to give employees the skills they need to successfully implement them in their daily work processes. With our support, you can ensure that your team not only acts in accordance with the standard, but can also effectively put the principles of functional safety into practice.

Carrying out safety analyses, including in particular Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), is a central part of our services. Our experts use their skills to identify potential hazards and to comprehensively assess them. HARA makes it possible to identify risks at an early stage and take appropriate measures to ensure safety. With our in-depth expertise in safety analyses, we help ensure that your systems and processes meet the highest safety standards and that potential hazards are effectively minimized.

Our support extends to the development of safety-critical systems in full consideration of ISO 26262 requirements. We use our expertise to create safety concepts for these systems, maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance. In addition, we carry out reviews of existing safety concepts to ensure that they comply with current best practices and meet the highest safety requirements. Our holistic approach ensures that safety-critical systems not only meet regulatory requirements, but also offer the highest level of safety and reliability.

The introduction of process improvement programs is at the heart of our efforts to ensure the implementation of safety-relevant processes in accordance with ISO 26262. Through targeted measures, we strive to optimize existing processes and integrate safety-critical aspects in accordance with the standard requirements. Our focus is on ensuring compliance with the ISO 26262 standards while promoting efficient and smooth implementation of safety-relevant processes throughout the company. With our process improvement programs, we create a solid foundation for a comprehensive and standard-compliant safety culture in all relevant areas of the company.

We offer operational support for the creation of safety artifacts at system, hardware and software levels. Our subject matter experts are actively at your side to ensure that all required documents and evidence are created in accordance with safety standards. With our practical support, we not only facilitate the process of creating artifacts, but also help to ensure that all safety requirements at the various levels - system, hardware and software - are fully met. Our operational help thus ensures a smooth and standard-compliant implementation of all safety artifacts.

With our expertise in the field of high-voltage and low-voltage safety, we ensure that safety-relevant aspects in electrical systems are taken into account comprehensively. Our experts specialize in the evaluation and implementation of safety measures relating to electrical systems, whether in the high-voltage or low-voltage range. With their in-depth knowledge of the relevant norms and standards, they help ensure that electrical systems meet the highest safety requirements. Our expertise extends across all facets of safety to ensure reliable and safe functionality of electrical systems.

We offer comprehensive support in the creation of the safety case, which serves as complete proof of functional safety. Our experts are at your side every step of the way to ensure that the safety case covers all relevant safety aspects. In addition, we intensively support the testing activities that serve as a fundamental basis for the safety proof. Through this combined approach, we not only ensure the completeness and correctness of the safety case, but also the integration of meaningful test results that provide lasting evidence of the safety and reliability of the system.

We carry out safety audits to demonstrate compliance with the process specifications in accordance with the ISO 26262 series of standards and internal process specifications for functional safety. Our experts check and evaluate the implementation of safety processes to ensure that they comply with the applicable standards. We also carry out safety assessments in accordance with ISO 26262 to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the safety-relevant aspects. Through these audits and assessments, we help to ensure that functional safety is anchored in all processes and that the highest quality and safety standards are achieved.
