[ Introduction ISO 26262:2018 ]

ISO 26262:2018 is an international standard for automotive functional safety established to prevent accidents caused by errors in electronic/electrical systems mounted on automobiles.

The importance of functional safety is increasing as the number of electronic controls in automobiles has increased dramatically in recent years, and many parts of automobiles are covered by electrical and electronic controls.

This standard defines the activities required along with the process model, tangible and intangible evidence, and any methods used in development and production.

The scope of this standard applies to electric/electronic systems installed in passenger vehicles with a maximum weight of 3,500 kg and does not apply to test-built vehicles, vehicles modified or altered for persons with disabilities, and vehicles produced before the standard is established.
