Safety Analyses in the Context of ISO 26262

 

Training

Inductive and deductive safety analyses play an essential role within the ISO 26262 safety life cycle. Qualitative analysis methods are used to identify failures whereas quantitative methods are utilized to predict the frequency of failures.         


This one-day training class introduces the fundamentals of common safety analysis methods such as FMEA, FMEDA, and FTA and discusses the role of these methods in the development of safety-related E/E systems as per ISO 26262.
