Functional Safety Assessment Audits and Confirmation Reviews

Course Duration: 5 Days - 8 Hours/day

This five-day course is designed to provide the skills required to conduct audits, assessments, and confirmation reviews for ISO 26262 Functional Safety Requirements as a stand-alone and integrated system. This class will give you the information to Plan, Conduct, and Report audit activities for ISO 26262:2018.

ISO 26262 is the Functional Safety standard that is applied to Safety Related Systems that include electric/electronic systems installed in production passenger vehicles, trucks & busses, and motorcycles. The course combines presentations with hands-on work and is conducted in English.
