ISO 26262 (Functional Safety)

ISO 26262 is an international standard that guides the development of safety-related electrical and electronic systems in vehicles, like cars. Its goal is to ensure these systems operate reliably and safely, minimizing the risk of accidents caused by technical failures. It sets guidelines for designing, testing, and verifying these systems throughout their lifecycle. By following ISO 26262, manufacturers can identify potential hazards, apply appropriate safety measures, and demonstrate that their vehicle components meet strict safety standards, ultimately protecting passengers, drivers, and others on the road.
