About the session

Helen Monkhouse, Product Safety Manager, Protean Electric

* Reviewing differences to consider when developing elements with different ASIL targets
* ASIL targets and how these can be assessed for safety
* ISO 26262 is being revised – what to look out for in relation to these changes.

The automotive industry has seen significant changes with products becoming more advanced and technology increasingly complex.

With the increased uptake of hybrid and electric vehicles and the adoption of autonomous systems there are more failure modes to consider and a new edition of the standard is being produced.

Three years since the introduction of ISO 26262, approaches to the standard’s policies and practices across the automotive sector have been tested and proved and there are now accepted approaches on how to address the issues.

By attending this seminar you will explore and discover the requirements for the standard and how to apply it successfully to your business operations through lessons learned and real examples
