What is ISO/PAS 21448 about?
ISO/PAS 21448 is an international standard on road vehicles that discusses functional safety.
ISO/PAS 21448 provides guidance on the applicable design, verification, and validation measures needed to achieve the Safety Of The Intended Functionality (SOTIF).
ISO/PAS 21448 is intended to be applied to intended functionality where proper situational awareness is critical to safety, and where that situational awareness is derived from complex sensors and processing algorithms; especially emergency intervention systems (e.g., emergency braking systems) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
NOTE: ISO/PAS 21448 does not apply to faults covered by the ISO 26262 series or to hazards directly caused by the system technology (e.g., eye damage from a laser sensor).
NOTE: ISO/PAS 21448 is not intended for functions of existing systems for which well-established and well-trusted design, verification, and validation (V&V) measures exist at the time of publication (e.g., Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) systems, airbag, etc.).
