ISO 26262 & SOTIF (ISO 21448)

Full lifecycle functional safety — from hazard analysis to safety validation. Addressing both systematic failures under ISO 26262 and performance limitations under SOTIF to ensure your systems are safe by design and safe in operation.

Capabilities

Key Capabilities

Comprehensive functional safety and SOTIF expertise across the complete safety lifecycle

HARA & ASIL Classification

Systematic Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment with ASIL A through D classification based on severity, exposure, and controllability.

Safety Concept Development

Functional, technical, and hardware/software safety concept development including safety goals and safe states definition.

FMEA & FTA Analysis

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) for systematic identification of failure causes and effects.

Safety Validation & Verification

Comprehensive safety V&V activities ensuring safety goals are met at vehicle, system, and component levels.

Dependent Failure Analysis

Analysis of common cause and cascading failures to ensure independence of safety mechanisms and redundancy paths.

SOTIF Triggering Condition Analysis

Systematic identification of triggering conditions that may lead to hazardous behavior due to functional insufficiencies.

Known/Unknown Hazardous Scenarios

SOTIF scenario categorization — identifying and reducing known unsafe scenarios while exploring unknown hazardous conditions.

Safety Requirements Management

End-to-end safety requirements lifecycle — derivation, allocation, traceability, and verification of safety requirements.

Tool Qualification (Part 8)

Tool confidence level assessment and qualification per ISO 26262 Part 8 for development and testing tools.

Standards & Frameworks

ISO 26262

The primary functional safety standard for automotive E/E systems. Full lifecycle coverage across all 12 parts.

ISO 21448 (SOTIF)

Safety of the Intended Functionality — addressing hazards arising from performance limitations, not just systematic failures.

ISO/PAS 21448

The publicly available specification predecessor to ISO 21448, providing foundational SOTIF guidance and methodology.

ASPICE

Automotive SPICE process assessment and compliance — ASPICE and ISO 26262 go hand-in-hand, ensuring mature development and safety processes across the V-model.
