Introduction to ISO 26262
ISO 26262, the automotive functional safety standard, is a globally recognized standard for automotive functional safety developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It covers the entire lifecycle of automotive-grade products. Both process-system certification and product certification under this framework enjoy high recognition within the automotive industry and have become one of the key entry barriers for electronic component suppliers looking to enter the automotive sector.
Especially for complete vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, compliance with the ISO 26262 standard is a mandatory requirement for developing and producing automotive safety-related components. This standard covers various aspects, including functional safety requirement planning, design, implementation, integration, verification, validation, and configuration. By following a robust development process, it effectively minimizes the risk of failures in automotive electrical or electronic systems, thereby ensuring the functional safety and reliability of automotive products.
TÜV Rheinland is one of the earliest international third-party certification bodies to launch functional safety services in China, and it also participates as a member of the editorial committee in the development of the ISO 26262 standard, lending it significant authority.
