• Establishment, development and improvement of the organisation of functional safety and strategy within a company within all phases and work products in the entire safety life cycle (system, hardware and software level)
• Hazard analysis and risk assessment (G&R)
• Safety analyses: FMEA, Single-Point Fault Metric (SPFM), Latent Fault Metric (LFM), etc.
• Optimisation of functional safety management and the associated engineering activities in terms of costs, efficiency, time and assigned safety requirement level (ASIL)

• In-house training of individuals or groups of people on the entire standard
• Topic and/or project-specific expert coaching

New technologies and extended functionalities in the vehicle mean that more and more safety-relevant electronic systems have to be developed in the automotive industry. Not only is the number of electronic components and systems increasing, but also their complexity and safety requirements. The safety standard ISO 26262 requires companies to ensure that the people familiar with functional safety have a sufficient level of expertise and qualification. Since the publication of ISO 26262, there has been an urgent demand on the labour market for appropriately trained personnel who can demonstrate their competence and professionalism through relevant qualifications.

To this end, we have developed a 3-stage personnel certification programme.

• Level 1 = FSCAE (Functional Safety Certified Automotive Engineer) This provides evidence of the fundamentals, concepts and objectives of functional safety management.
• Level 2 = FSCAC (Functional Safety Certified Automotive Coordinator /Consultant) This demonstrates the competence to plan, conduct and document assessments on the basis of ISO 26262
• Level 3 = FSCAM (Functional Safety Certified Automotive Manager) This demonstrates the competence to be deployed as a process owner of functional safety management and to plan activities within projects Details of the training content and procedure can be found under the links. There you will also find detailed information on other qualification programmes.

• Objective and independent assessment of organisations, processes and products with regard to functional safety according to ISO 26262 (gap analysis "QuickCheck", functional safety assessment, confirmation reviews, audits)
• Certification by TÜV NORD after successfully passing the assessment

Benefit from the experience of our employees by contributing our knowledge to your project:

The employees in the "Functional Safety" competence field are actively involved in shaping the standards in the standardisation committees:

• VDA NA-A (ISO 26262)
• VDMA WG Safety (ISO 25119)
• TTA Steer-by-Wire WG
