Functional Safety – Management

Functional Safety Plan and Safety Schedule

Thanks to many years of experience at NTC Systems, we can plan safety projects in the field of electrical and electronic systems precisely. We initiate the functional safety life cycle according to the V-model for your project and define the safety objectives and requirement levels ASIL-A to ASIL-D or SIL-1 to SIL-4.

To implement the functional safety plan, we assign roles and responsibilities. Our experienced functional safety managers (FSM) create the safety schedule. Of course, we also coordinate and monitor this.

Agreement on the services interfaces

We prepare the conclusion of a Development Interface Agreement (DIA) between you and your suppliers, as required by standards and norms like the ISO 26262, for example.

To this end, we define the responsibilities between you as the manufacturer and your suppliers by precisely classifying and documenting the safety activities in the concept phase, the development phase and the production phase.

Functional Safety Consulting

We analyze your safety processes and develop recommendations on how you can effectively and successfully organize functional safety in your company.

Functional Safety Verification

We provide you with a complete substantive argument for the correctness of the functional safety concept and demonstrate compliance with all safety requirements defined in the relevant standards.

Functional Safety – Pre-Assessment

In preparation for the release of your product, we prove that the safety requirements for your project / system, e.g. according to ISO 26262, are completely fulfilled. For the evidence, we check the work results of the safety activities during the entire development process.

Our safety experts list all the work results of the safety activities for the safety proof: Reviews, FMEA, design documentation, safety concept, etc..

For each individual work result, we indicate how it ensures product safety.

Normen | e.g. ISO 26262 (ASIL-A to ASIL-D) und IEC 61508 (SIL-1 to SIL-4)

Functional Safety (Pre-)Audit

Our experts check the implementation of all processes that are necessary in the area of functional safety in your company. We then create audit reports and action reports.

Hand-in-hand with safety experts from NTC Systems

If you wish, our safety experts will also take a very responsible approach to your safety project!
