What You'll Learn
What is ISO 26262, and why it's important?
The ISO 26262 Functional Safety – Road Vehicles standard provides guidelines for the production of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) systems that are installed on passenger vehicles with a maximum gross weight of up to 3.5 tons.
It is a risk-based safety standard where the level of hazardous situation can be assessed, and safety measures can be defined to avoid or mitigate the effects of the risks.
- Compliance Requirements: Understand automotive standards and apply ISO 26262 to development workflows.
- Templates & Traceability: Use ITEM templates and end-to-end traceability to accelerate compliance.
- Lifecycle Management: Efficiently maintain continuous, long-term ISO 26262 compliance across all engineering phases.

ISO 26262 is an international safety standard for electrical and electronic (E/E) systems in road vehicles. It establishes a risk-based safety framework to ensure functional safety, manage systematic failures, and mitigate potential hazards across the entire product development lifecycle.
ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) is a risk classification scheme defined by ISO 26262, ranging from ASIL A (lowest risk) to ASIL D (highest risk). It is determined by analyzing three key factors during the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) phase: Severity of potential harm, Exposure frequency, and Controllability by the driver.
Visure provides end-to-end bi-directional traceability across requirements, safety goals, architecture, test cases, and hazards. It simplifies compliance with pre-configured ISO 26262 templates, automated quality analysis, AI-assisted verification, and automated audit report generation.
While ISO 26262 is technically a voluntary standard, compliance is widely required by automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers globally to meet regulatory safety requirements, reduce liability risks, and ensure functional safety in modern vehicles.
