Processes & Work ProductsComplete Safety Lifecycle
Comprehensive process descriptions and 200+ ready-to-use work product templates covering the complete ISO 26262 safety lifecycle. From management and concept phase through development, production, and operation.
Complete Process Library
Comprehensive process descriptions for all ISO 26262 lifecycle activities including item definition, HARA, functional safety concept, technical safety concept, system architectural design, hardware development, software development, production, operation, supporting processes, and management activities. Each process includes objectives, inputs, activities, outputs, methods, tools, and ASIL-dependent requirements with flowcharts and decision trees.
200+ Work Product Templates
Ready-to-use templates for all required ISO 26262 deliverables including safety plan, item definition, HARA report, safety goals, functional safety concept, technical safety concept, requirements specifications, design specifications, safety analyses, verification reports, validation reports, assessment reports, confirmation measures, and production/operation documentation. Templates include structure, required content, and completion guidance.
Process Flow Diagrams
Visual process flows showing activity sequences, decision points, parallel activities, iterative loops, and dependencies between processes. Understand how processes interconnect across the V-model, identify inputs from preceding activities, and plan outputs for subsequent phases. Interactive diagrams with clickable elements linking to detailed process descriptions and work product templates.
Concept Phase Processes
Part 3 processes including item definition with boundary and interface specification, HARA with hazard identification and risk assessment, safety goal determination with ASIL assignment, and functional safety concept development with safe states and fault reactions. Complete guidance for establishing the safety foundation with requirements traceability from hazards to safety goals to functional requirements.
System Development Processes
Part 4 processes covering technical safety concept with TSRs and safety mechanisms, system architectural design with HW/SW allocation, system integration and testing strategy, hardware-software interface specification, verification of TSC and architecture, and safety validation planning. Methods for achieving hardware metrics, software safety, and system-level safety requirements decomposition.
Hardware & Software Processes
Parts 5 & 6 processes for hardware requirements, design, implementation, verification (unit/integration), and evaluation of hardware elements. Software processes including requirements specification, architectural design, unit design and implementation, integration, verification with appropriate methods (reviews, analysis, testing), and software qualification. ASIL-dependent requirements for each phase.
Production & Operation
Part 7 processes for production (planning, production control plan, operation and maintenance instructions), operation phase activities (field monitoring, aging analysis), decommissioning, and change management during series production. Includes traceability of safety requirements to production controls, detection of systematic faults during production, and monitoring field performance data.
Supporting Processes
Part 8 supporting processes including distributed development with DIA, safety element out of context (SEooC), proven-in-use arguments, software/hardware component qualification, tool qualification with TCL determination, change management, configuration management, documentation, problem resolution, verification independence, and functional safety assessment planning and execution.
Management Processes
Part 2 management processes covering safety lifecycle planning, project planning, safety plan development, competency management, quality management integration, safety culture development, safety anomaly management, change impact analysis, organizational roles and responsibilities, independence requirements, and continuous improvement mechanisms. Foundation for systematic functional safety management.
Work Product Checklists
Comprehensive checklists for each work product template ensuring completeness and compliance. Cover required content elements, ASIL-dependent requirements, traceability to source documents, consistency checks, review criteria, acceptance criteria, and common deficiencies to avoid. Structured checklists support preparation for functional safety assessments and audits.
Searchable Template Library
Advanced search and filtering across all work product templates by ISO part, lifecycle phase, document type, ASIL applicability, and keywords. Quick access to templates for safety plan, specifications, reports, evidences, and confirmation measures. Preview template structure, download editable formats, and customize for your specific project context and organizational processes.
Traceability & Dependencies
Understand work product relationships with traceability matrices showing inputs and outputs for each process. Map safety goals to functional safety requirements to technical safety requirements to system/HW/SW requirements to test cases. Visualize dependencies between processes, identify predecessor work products, and ensure consistency across the safety lifecycle with automated trace checking.
