ISO 26262:2018 Automotive Functional Safety Certification
ISO 26262 Automotive Functional Safety Certification Training
Course Duration: 5 Days - 8 Hours/day
ISO 26262 certification course will help you become a Functional Safety Certified Automotive Engineer. This five-day functional safety certification training covers all 12 parts of the ISO 26262 standard to give those attending the information necessary to understand the standard and move your organization toward conformance.
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. There is an optional ISO 26262 Certification exam at the end of the class for those wanting to demonstrate and document their knowledge.
This course combines presentations, along with in-class group exercises to put what you are learning into practice. Concepts are reinforced by a running case study of an air bag system. Forms are used to complete the exercises as a part of the integrated workshops that include Item Definition, Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), Safety Goals, ASIL levels, Functional Safety Concept, Technical Safety Concept, and Hardware/Software Interface.
