ISO 26262-4:2018 PDF Download

ISO 26262-4:2018 standard is a document that applies to safety-related systems in series production road vehicles, excluding mopeds. It does not cover unique E/E systems in special vehicles or address hazards unrelated to malfunctioning behavior of safety-related E/E systems.

The standard outlines a framework for functional safety to aid in the development of safety-related E/E systems. It specifies requirements for product development at the system level for automotive applications, including topics such as the initiation of product development, specification of technical safety requirements, technical safety concept, system architectural design, item integration and testing, and safety validation.

Furthermore, the document exempts systems and components already released for production or under development prior to its publication. It also addresses alterations to existing systems and integration of systems not developed according to the document by tailoring the safety lifecycle. Annex A provides an overview of the objectives, prerequisites, and work products of this standard.
