Distinguished: SGS-TÜV Saar awards ISO 26262 certificate
Elmos Semiconductor AG has received certification for its functional safety
processes in compliance with ISO 26262. The audit validates the world's
most comprehensive functional safety implementation in semiconductor
development and production processes. The development methodology in
particular stands out: Elmos is now outlining the best possible functional
safety process using the methods of system level development also for the
ICs, and among other things follows ISO 26262-4 "Product Development at the
System Level" and ISO 26262-5 "Product Development at the Hardware Level".
The systematic development of chip architectures is firmly established in
the design process. The ICs are designed according to functional safety
requirements right from the start. In this way, Elmos customers can
implement efficient system design in accordance with ISO 26262.
SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH has verified the methodology for developing
safety-related semiconductors. Elmos meets the requirements for
certification in accordance with the ISO standard parts ISO
26262-2,4,5,7,8,9 relevant to semiconductors, and thus the demanding
requirements up to ASIL D. Elmos benefitted from over 30 years of
experience in the development and production of automotive semiconductors
when it introduced ISO 26262.
The Elmos semiconductors complement the sensor evaluation or actuator
control functions of intelligent electronic safety systems in vehicles, for
example. As a result, the company places a high priority on a development
process which effectively incorporates the highest safety measures. A
systematically requirement-based development approach with abstraction
levels (level model) was selected, in order to develop a functional and
technical specification of the IC which matches the intended application.
In this way, Elmos ensures the structured and complete specification of the
IC requirements based on the system. Verification of the IC safety concept
and its implementation is ensured through safety analyses, reviews and
internal assessments. The focus is on smooth integration of the ICs in the
safety-related systems of the automotive industry customers.
ISO 26262 defines a process model for the development of safety-related
systems involving one or more electrical and/or electronic functions for
the series production of vehicles. The objective is to avoid unreasonable
risks.
The certificate (no. FS/71/220/15/0103) is available on the home page.
