Consultation
Functional safety engineering support for your product
We work alongside your engineers on the concept, the analyses and the safety case, and hand over documents your team can maintain.
What we cover
From the first concept to the evidence file
Engagements range from a single review to support across a whole project.
Functional safety concept
Safety goals, safety functions, safe states and the architecture that realises them, written to the standard that applies to your product.
Hazard and risk analysis
Support with identifying hazards, assigning integrity levels and deriving the requirements that follow.
Hardware analysis
FMEDA, safe failure fraction, PFH and PMHF, diagnostic coverage and common cause failure, including supplier components.
Software safety analysis
Software FMEA and freedom from interference analysis for safety libraries and mixed-criticality software.
Safety case and justification
A structured argument with each claim linked to its evidence, ready for assessment.
Gap analysis and independent review
Compare your documents and process against the standard, and get a clear list of what to close before assessment.
How we work
A clear path from scope to review
Scope
We agree the product, the standard, the target integrity level and what you need delivered.
Analyse
We carry out the analyses with your engineers, so the reasoning stays with your team.
Document
Results go into documents that follow the standard and that your team can update.
Review
We review the package together and close the open points before it goes to assessment.
Where we work
Experience across safety-critical embedded products
Motor drives, battery management, industrial interlocks and safety networking, to IEC 61508, ISO 26262 and ISO 13849-1.
