ISO 26262 Overview
?Adaptation of IEC 61508 to road vehicles
?Influenced by ISO 16949 Quality Management System
?The first comprehensive standard that addresses safety related
automotive systems comprised of electrical, electronic, and software elements that provide safety-related functions.
?It intends to address the following important challenges in today’s road vehicle technologies:
–The safety of new E/E and Software functionality in vehicles –The trend of increasing complexity, software content, and mechatronics implementation
–The risk from both systematic failure and random hardware failure

?Conducted in June-July 2011, based on DSI draft published in 2009.
?Final standard (FDIS) was published in November 2011. ?Future discussions should be based on the FDIS version of the standard.
?Review Focus—How well can the standard provide safety assurance for the complex software-intensive automotive electronics and electrical systems?
