DANSK DS/ISO 26262-10 PDF

ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that include one or more E/E systems and that are installed in series production passenger cars with a max gross weight up to 3.5 t. ISO 26262 does not address unique E/E systems in special purpose vehicles such as vehicles designed for drivers with disabilities. Systems developed prior to the publication date of ISO 26262 are exempted from the scope. ISO 26262 addresses possible hazards caused by malfunctioning behaviour of E/E safety-related systems including interaction of these systems. It does not address hazards as electric shock, fire, smoke, heat, radiation, toxicity, flammability, reactivity, corrosion, release of energy, and similar hazards unless directly caused by malfunctioning behaviour of E/E safety-related systems. ISO 26262 does not address the nominal performance of E/E systems, even if dedicated functional performance standards exist for these systems (for example active and passive safety systems, brake systems, ACC). This Part of ISO°26262 has an informative character only. This Part provides an informative overview of ISO°26262, as well as additional explanations, intended to enhance the understanding of the other Parts of ISO°26262. It describes the general concepts of ISO°26262 in order to make it easier to understand. The explanation expands from general concepts to specific contents. In the case of inconsistencies between this Part, and the other dedicated Parts of ISO°26262, the requirements, recommendations and information given in the dedicated part of ISO°26262 apply.
