[Vlog] Understanding Items & Item Definition, Before the Hazard Assessment and Risk Analysis Process

The ISO 26262 Standard recommends a functional safety lifecycle to be followed, for design and development of an automotive E/E system.

Item definition is part of the concept phase of this Functional Safety Lifecycle. It is the very first step of your functional safety journey.

So, what makes item definition so important?

The functional safety consultants must have an in-depth understanding of the system that is being developed, as per the ISO 26262 standard. The item definition provides this understanding.

It is a list of the system, sub-systems, functional dependencies and various such attributes. The information contained in the Item definition document, serves as an input for the HARA process.
