What you'll take away

Moving from ISO 26262 to ISO 13849 involves more than a change of terminology: the safety concepts, the evaluation methods, and the evidence requirements differ fundamentally between the two standards.

This seminar explains how ASIL-based approaches translate into Performance Level (PL) concepts, and what adjustments are needed in architecture, analysis, and software development.

It is aimed at teams designing machinery or industrial equipment who come from automotive, as well as those who have to reconcile both frameworks.

Program

  • Differences in the legal framework
  • Criticality level: Performance Level (PL) versus ASIL
  • Differences in the safety philosophy of the two standards
  • The ISO 26262 concept phase versus the requirements of ISO 13849
  • System and hardware development: architecture, analyses and metrics, verification and validation
  • Software development: requirements for PLa to PLd, then PLe, compared with ASIL A to D of ISO 26262
  • Summary
