Safety Software

SGS can help manufacturers responsible for functional safety software within household appliances and other devices to comply with the relevant safety standards.

In the context of functional safety testing and approval, the evaluation of safety-relevant software has become increasingly important in recent years. Software manufacturers, and device-makers that use functional safety applications, must test their operating systems to ensure compliance and become functional safety approved. This is where we can help.
