Abstract

This paper shows how the Functional Safety standard ISO 26262 can be applied to identify and classify potential hazardous events and to derive a safety concept and the associated Safety Requirements related to the prevention or mitigation of these hazardous events. Especially, it addresses the problem how the right level of detail can be found for the Safety Requirements, how Safety Goals can be defined such that the development of the system is supported, and how assumptions can be handled. A procedure for deriving Safety Requirements is presented which supports system development and ensures that no relevant requirement (or attribute) is omitted. This procedure includes requirements allocation, the Safety Analysis and the description of an appropriate OEM‐Supplier interface.
