ISO 26262 FSCAE Certification & Examination
ISO 26262 FSCAE CERTIFICATION
5-Day Functional Safety Certified Automotive Engineering (FSCAE) Training with Certification Exam
FSCAE Certification by TÜV NORD
LHP and TÜV NORD have partnered to offer ISO 26262 FSCAE certification and exam under TÜV NORD`s market-leading “Functional Safety Certified Automotive Engineer” (FSCAE) program.
TÜV NORD is an internationally recognized, certified organization with experienced professionals who have many years of practical experience in functional safety and the relevant standards.
The ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard is an international safety standard of electrical and electronic systems in production automobiles defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
As defined by TÜV NORD, producers of safety-relevant technical systems in the automotive industry are obligated to develop their systems in accordance with all technical and scientific aspects of functional safety.
ISO 26262 defines the requirements of functional safety for electrical and electronic systems. The application of this standard leads to the correlation of documented safety evidence with conformity.
