The accreditation applies to UL Solutions functional safety and autonomy safety schemes, including:
- ISO 26262, road vehicles — functional safety
- ISO 21448, road vehicles — safety of the intended functionality
- ISO 13849, safety of machinery — safety-related parts of control systems
- IEC 61508, functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems
- IEC 62061, safety of machinery — functional safety of safety-related control systems
UL Solutions' combined functional safety and security team addresses automotive cybersecurity, functional safety, automated driving and software development processes to help customers bring safer, more secure innovations to market.
To earn this accreditation, UL Solutions demonstrated that it fulfills the requirements for certification bodies put forth by ISO/IEC 17065 through an independent, third-party assessment by ANAB.
