ISO 26262-5:2011 PDF Download

ISO 26262-5:2011 is a standard that focuses on the product development at the hardware level for automotive applications. It provides requirements for the initiation of hardware development, specification of safety requirements, hardware design, hardware architectural metrics, and the evaluation of safety goals in relation to hardware failures and integration.

The standard specifically applies to safety-related systems in passenger cars with a maximum gross vehicle mass up to 3,500 kg. It does not address unique systems in special purpose vehicles or cover hazards unrelated to malfunctioning behavior of safety-related systems.

ISO 26262-5:2011 is applicable to both non-programmable and programmable elements, such as ASIC, FPGA, and PLD. However, for programmable electronic elements, additional requirements from other parts of the ISO 26262 standard are also applicable.
