ISO 26262 certification firstly defines key terms like error, failure, and faults to ensure everybody that is involved in the automotive process is aware. The certification also defines the standards that are applicable across the safety lifecycle of individual automotive products. This begins right from the concept phase to the product development across levels, production, operation, service, and right until the decommissioning stage. The ISO 26262 certification also provides a specific risk-based approach for determining various automotive risk classes. Along with identifying and assessing these safety risks, the certification establishes various requirements that reduce these risks to an acceptable level. The certification also tracks the requirements, thereby ensuring an acceptable level of safety is attained in the end-product.

They are being regulated and the designing and testing of products are streamlined.This is where ISO 26262 certification comes into picture.It caters to the need to have automotive-specific international standards.
The critical components related to safety are to be verified through ISO 26262.The automotive industry has been facing issues with testing and validating systems like throttle-by-wire.
These include faults in the hardware, human mistakes, and operational failure.As it is with any industry, the automotive industry also has certain functional safety standards it needs to comply to.
IEC 61511 standard is created to cover the management and design requirements for safety insured systems.
IEC 61508 is also known as the umbrella standard, as it covers the methods of application, design, deployment, and maintenance of automatic protection systems.
EN 50126 provides the specifications and demonstrates the reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) in railways.
ISO 22301:2012 Lead Auditor Training in France, Societal security – Business continuity management systems – Requirements, is a management system standard published by International Organization for Standardization
