ISO 26262-2:2018: Management of functional safety

Explore overall safety management across the safety lifecycle, emphasizing safety culture, competence management, and high-level processes. Learn quality management per ISO 9001 and OEM and supplier roles.

Develop a proactive safety culture by making functional safety a company objective and a quality attribute guiding product design. Encourage cross-department involvement of safety experts to avoid costly changes later.

Identify safety anomalies and critical deviations, trigger the mandatory process, implement and manage analysis and plan changes, inform responsible parties, document and verify effectiveness, then close for traceability.

Implement competence management for functional safety by defining required roles, responsibilities, and skills; train newcomers and ensure staff qualification aligns with project needs and risk levels.

Apply ISO 9001 and Iatf 1694 nine standards to meet customer and regulatory requirements while enhancing satisfaction through the plan to check and act cycle.

Define the project independent safety lifecycle. Establish development interface agreements that clarify OEM and supplier responsibilities and base the lifecycle for project dependent safety lifecycle.

Define roles and responsibilities for the development project and plan safety activities. Highlight the safety plan, project dependent safety management, the safety case, and verification measures for safety-related work products.

The project safety manager, nominated by the project manager, plans, coordinates, and tracks safety activities, escalates deviations, and coordinates verification and validation discussions with internal teams, suppliers, and OEM.

Create the safety plan as the central document for functional safety, outlining the sequence of activities and linking to verification, validation, the safety case, and related plans.

Explore confirmation measures for functional safety, including reviews, audits, and assessments that verify work products and safety processes, with independence levels zero to three for reviewers, auditors, and assessors.

Approve release for production only with enough evidence of functional safety under Project Dependent Safety Management. Document release details, including signatures, variant versions, configuration, baselines, and calibration data.

Define roles and responsibilities for safety activities across production, operation, service, and decommissioning. Implement field monitoring to track post-release product performance and establish a process to manage modifications.

Define roles and responsibilities for production and operation in safety lifecycle. Establish a safety manager and specify who triggers and monitors modifications and recalls, including calibration data and flashing software.

Plan safety activities across development and production with open culture, aligning teams. Establish production control plan, test activities, safe mounting, use processes, and safety manuals for driver and service hints.

Define and implement field monitoring processes to track functional safety during operation, with systematic data recording, periodic analysis, issue reporting to the process owner, and recall management for safety-related modifications.

Trigger functional safety impact analysis after a potential risk, define and implement required modifications, verify post-implementation safety, and sustain safety while identifying negative side effects that could violate safety goals.
