Road vehicles — Functional safety — Part 5: Product development at the hardware level

ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that include one or more electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems and that are installed in series production passenger cars with a maximum gross vehicle mass up to 3 500 kg. ISO 26262 does not address unique E/E systems in special purpose vehicles such as vehicles designed for drivers with disabilities. Systems and their components released for production, or systems and their components already under development prior to the publication date of ISO 26262, are exempted from the scope. For further development or alterations based on systems and their components released for production prior to the publication of ISO 26262, only the modifications will be developed in accordance with ISO 26262. 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 related to 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 (e.g. active and passive safety systems, brake systems, Adaptive Cruise Control). ISO 26262-5:2011 specifies the requirements for product development at the hardware level for automotive applications, including the following: requirements for the initiation of product development at the hardware level, specification of the hardware safety requirements, hardware design, hardware architectural metrics, and evaluation of violation of the safety goal due to random hardware failures and hardware integration and testing. The requirements of ISO 26262-5:2011 for hardware elements are applicable both to non-programmable and programmable elements, such as ASIC, FPGA and PLD. Furthermore, for programmable electronic elements, requirements in ISO 26262-6, ISO 26262-8:2011, Clause 11, and ISO 26262-8:2011, Clause 12, are applicable.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 26262-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 3,
Electrical and electronic equipment.

ISO 26262-5:2011(E)
Introduction
ISO 26262 is the adaptation of IEC 61508 to comply with needs specific to the application sector of electrical
and/or electronic (E/E) systems within road vehicles.
This adaptation applies to all activities during the safety lifecycle of safety-related systems comprised of
electrical, electronic and software components.
Safety is one of the key issues of future automobile development. New functionalities not only in areas such
as driver assistance, propulsion, in vehicle dynamics control and active and passive safety systems
increasingly touch the domain of system safety engineering. Development and integration of these
functionalities will strengthen the need for safe system development processes and the need to provide
evidence that all reasonable system safety objectives are satisfied.
With the trend of increasing technological complexity, software content and mechatronic implementation, there
are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures. ISO 26262 includes guidance to
avoid these risks by providing appropriate requirements and processes.
System safety is achieved through a number of safety measures, which are implemented in a variety of
technologies (e.g. mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic, programmable electronic) and
applied at the various levels of the development process. Although ISO 26262 is concerned with functional
safety of E/E systems, it provides a framework within which safety-related systems based on other
technologies can be considered. ISO 26262:
a) provides an automotive safety lifecycle (management, development, production, operation, service,
decommissioning) and supports tailoring the necessary activities during these lifecycle phases;
b) provides an automotive-specific risk-based approach to determine integrity levels [Automotive Safety
Integrity Levels (ASIL)];
c) uses ASILs to specify applicable requirements of ISO 26262 so as to avoid unreasonable residual risk;
d) provides requirements for validation and confirmation measures to ensure a sufficient and acceptable
level of safety being achieved;
e) provides requirements for relations with suppliers.
Functional safety is influenced by the development process (including such activities as requirements
specification, design, implementation, integration, verification, validation and configuration), the production
and service processes and by the management processes.
Safety issues are intertwined with common function-oriented and quality-oriented development activities and
work products. ISO 26262 addresses the safety-related aspects of development activities and work products.
Figure 1 shows the overall structure of this edition of ISO 26262. ISO 26262 is based upon a V-model as a
reference process model for the different phases of product development. Within the figure:
 the shaded “V”s represent the interconnection between ISO 26262-3, ISO 26262-4, ISO 26262-5,
ISO 26262-6 and ISO 26262-7;
 the specific clauses are indicated in the following manner: “m-n”, where “m” represents the number of the
particular part and “n” indicates the number of the clause within that part.
EXAMPLE “2-6” represents Clause 6 of ISO 26262-2.

Road vehicles — Functional safety —
Part 5:
Product development at the hardware level
1 Scope
ISO 26262 is intended to be applied to safety-related systems that include one or more electrical and/or
electronic (E/E) systems and that are installed in series production passenger cars with a maximum gross
vehicle mass up to 3 500 kg. ISO 26262 does not address unique E/E systems in special purpose vehicles
such as vehicles designed for drivers with disabilities.
Systems and their components released for production, or systems and their components already under
development prior to the publication date of ISO 26262, are exempted from the scope. For further
development or alterations based on systems and their components released for production prior to the
publication of ISO 26262, only the modifications will be developed in accordance with ISO 26262.
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 related to 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 (e.g. active and passive safety systems, brake systems,
Adaptive Cruise Control).
This part of ISO 26262 specifies the requirements for product development at the hardware level for
automotive applications, including the following:
 requirements for the initiation of product development at the hardware level,
 specification of the hardware safety requirements,
 hardware design,
 hardware architectural metrics, and
 evaluation of violation of the safety goal due to random hardware failures and hardware integration and
testing.
The requirements of this part of ISO 26262 for hardware elements are applicable both to non-programmable
and programmable elements, such as ASIC, FPGA and PLD. Furthermore, for programmable electronic
elements, requirements in ISO 26262-6, ISO 26262-8:2011, Clause 11, and ISO 26262-8:2011, Clause 12,
are applicable.

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions and abbreviated terms given in ISO 26262-1:2011
apply.
4 Requirements for compliance
4.1 General requirements
When claiming compliance with ISO 26262, each requirement shall be complied with, unless one of the
following applies:
a) tailoring of the safety activities in accordance with ISO 26262-2 has been planned and shows that the
requirement does not apply, or
b) a rationale is available that the non-compliance is acceptable and the rationale has been assessed in
accordance with ISO 26262-2.
Information marked as a “NOTE” or “EXAMPLE” is only for guidance in understanding, or for clarification of
the associated requirement, and shall not be interpreted as a requirement itself or as complete or exhaustive.
The results of safety activities are given as work products. “Prerequisites” are information which shall be
available as work products of a previous phase. Given that certain requirements of a clause are ASIL-
dependent or may be tailored, certain work products may not be needed as prerequisites.
“Further supporting information” is information that can be considered, but which in some cases is not required
by ISO 26262 as a work product of a previous phase and which may be made available by external sources
that are different from the persons or organizations responsible for the functional safety activities.

ISO 26262-5:2011(E)
4.2 Interpretations of tables
Tables are normative or informative depending on their context. The different methods listed in a table
contribute to the level of confidence in achieving compliance with the corresponding requirement. Each
method in a table is either
a) a consecutive entry (marked by a sequence number in the leftmost column, e.g. 1, 2, 3), or
b) an alternative entry (marked by a number followed by a letter in the leftmost column, e.g. 2a, 2b, 2c).
For consecutive entries, all methods shall be applied as recommended in accordance with the ASIL. If
methods other than those listed are to be applied, a rationale shall be given that these fulfil the corresponding
requirement.
For alternative entries, an appropriate combination of methods shall be applied in accordance with the ASIL
indicated, independent of whether they are listed in the table or not. If methods are listed with different
degrees of recommendation for an ASIL, the methods with the higher recommendation should be preferred. A
rationale shall be given that the selected combination of methods complies with the corresponding
requirement.
NOTE A rationale based on the methods listed in the table is sufficient. However, this does not imply a bias for or
against methods not listed in the table.
For each method, the degree of recommendation to use the corresponding method depends on the ASIL and
is categorized as follows:
 “++” indicates that the method is highly recommended for the identified ASIL;
 “+” indicates that the method is recommended for the identified ASIL;
 “o” indicates that the method has no recommendation for or against its usage for the identified ASIL.
4.3 ASIL-dependent requirements and recommendations
The requirements or recommendations of each subclause shall be complied with for ASIL A, B, C and D, if not
stated otherwise. These requirements and recommendations refer to the ASIL of the safety goal. If ASIL
decomposition has been performed at an earlier stage of development, in accordance with ISO 26262-9:2011,
Clause 5, the ASIL resulting from the decomposition shall be complied with.
If an ASIL is given in parentheses in ISO 26262, the corresponding subclause shall be considered as a
recommendation rather than a requirement for this ASIL. This has no link with the parenthesis notation related
to ASIL decomposition.
5 Initiation of product development at the hardware level
5.1 Objectives
The objective of the initiation of the product development for the hardware is to determine and plan the
functional safety activities during the individual subphases of hardware development. This also includes the
necessary supporting processes described in ISO 26262-8.
This planning of hardware-specific safety activities is included in the safety plan (see ISO 26262-2:2011, 6.4.3,
and ISO 26262-4:2011, 5.4).

ISO 26262-5:2011(E)
5.2 General
The necessary activities and processes needed to develop hardware that meets the safety requirements are
planned. Figure 2 illustrates the hardware level product development process steps in order to comply with the
requirements of this part of ISO 26262, and the integration of these steps within the ISO 26262 framework.
The necessary activities and processes for the product development at the hardware level include:
 the hardware implementation of the technical safety concept;
 the analysis of potential hardware faults and their effects; and
 the coordination with software development.
By contrast to the software development subphases, this part of ISO 26262 contains two clauses describing
quantitative evaluations of the overall hardware architecture of the item.
Clause 8 describes two metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the hardware architecture of the item and the
implemented safety mechanisms to cope with random hardware failures.
As a complement to Clause 8, Clause 9 describes two alternatives to evaluate whether the residual risk of
safety goal violations is sufficiently low, either by using a global probabilistic approach or by using a cut-set
analysis to study the impact of each identified fault of a hardware element upon the violation of the safety
goals.
