Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF) is a logical supplement to the established functional safety standard ISO 26262.
Whilst both relate to the reliable performance of electric and electronic systems in automated vehicles, SOTIF addresses the risks that lie dormant in the functions themselves, even when they have passed the ISO 26262 standard. This could be an inability to read and respond correctly to environmental conditions or situations such as black ice or a reflection.
As technology advances and grows more complex, these safety related standards become ever more critical. SGS are experts in SOTIF and functional safety – with and without artificial intelligence (AI) – and can provide training and personal certification to ensure you meet and comply with all required standards, local and global.
