SOTIF Assessments, Audits & Certification

Support from the market leader on the new challenges of autonomous driving.

The increase in automated driving and autonomous cars brings new safety challenges to the automotive industry. These challenges have resulted in a raft of standards relating to functional safety, Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF), cybersecurity and many more.  

The absence of unreasonable risk due to potentially hazardous behaviors related to functionality limitations is defined as SOTIF. Functional safety (addressed by the ISO 26262 series) and SOTIF are distinct and complementary aspects of safety.

With regard to the introduction of autonomous driving in several stages, the new SOTIF standard ISO 21448 is a valuable tool for a responsible process-related and technical implementation of the new challenges.
