Unifying Attribution Across Lifecycle Phases

July 23, 2025

Functional safety development, as guided by standards like IEC 61508, ISO 13849 or ISO 26262, relies on a structured lifecycle approach to ensure that safety is designed into a system from its inception.  Functional safety certification does not happen on accident. It requires a deliberate and structured approach, which is precisely what the functional safety lifecycle provides. Adhering to these defined phases is crucial because it ensures a systematic and comprehensive consideration of all safety aspects.  The lifecycle phases act
