ISO 26262 Functional Safety Module 1 - Introduction and Management

The training outlines the key activities required to comply with ISO 26262. Proper implementation of this standard is strongly recommended to address product liability concerns. During development, it is essential to provide evidence of performing a comprehensive set of safety activities at the appropriate stages to prevent systematic failures and random hardware errors.

In addition to our training program, we offer an examination that certifies your expertise and competence in functional safety according to the ISO 26262 standard for road vehicles. Upon completion, you will receive certification verifying that you meet all the necessary prerequisites and possess the expertise required to take responsibility for the safety lifecycle.

By completing all four ISO 26262 training modules, you will be well-prepared for the Intertek Functional Safety Certification Program (IFSCP). While it is possible to take the exam without attending the training modules, we highly recommend completing them to ensure thorough preparation before the examination.
