ISO 26262 Certification for Functional Safety of Road Vehicles
Full Protection All the Way from A to B
With automobile technology becoming ever more complex, more control units than ever now incorporate safety-related functions. Software is becoming increasingly common in cars, as is the integration of mechanics and electrics. Nevertheless, continuous upgrades and improvements in the safety system functions in automobiles also bring their own safety risks.
To reduce the cost of product recalls due to safety problems, manufacturers are also aware that they have to offer products certified to conform with the highest standards in safety. A matter of urgency for automotive companies is finding a way to avoid potential hazards at the product design stage by adopting technical measures. TÜV Rheinland is a recognized provider of expert functional safety certification services, and has many years of experience in this field.
