Description

All about how to apply functional safety in your project.

Not another ISO26262 training. Nope... in this first season you'll get pragmatic and straightforward explanations, insights and tipps that will make you grow quickly and become an expert for Functional Safety soon.

Technical solutions will not be presented and you will not learn to quote the standard but gain a solid understanding of what FuSa actually means. Or in other words: You'll learn how to fish but you'll have to do the fishing yourself ;-).

The first episode will be uploaded on August, 12, 2025. More episodes will be added every other week.

Disclaimer: For reasons of transparency, I do not want to leave unmentioned that the podcast was developed with AI support. This has made the work enormously easier for me, and the texts have also achieved significantly better quality and readability as a result. All texts were written in my native language (German) and translated into English by ChatGPT and Claude. Of course, all texts were subsequently checked very carefully and edited as needed.Regarding the technical content, the use of AI systems was deliberately avoided entirely. This content is based exclusively on my knowledge and experience.
Despite all the care befitting the topic of Functional Safety, I cannot rule out that errors may have occurred. I must therefore exclude any liability claims against me at this point, as is generally customary. The use of the content presented here is in any case at one's own responsibility.

Hello and welcome to a new episode of "Applied FuSa," a podcast for FuSa pragmatists.Confirmation Measures, which means Confirmation Review, Audits and Assessments. In today's episode, we'll examine their significance and how to implement them in practice. We'll pay special attention to the topic of Level of Independence. Do audits and assessments always have to be conducted by external providers? Are internal auditors and assessors independent enough? These are questions we will answer.
Hello and welcome to a new episode of “Applied FuSa,” a podcast for FuSa pragmatists.“We have to do this because it’s written in the ISO.” You hear that a lot, but it’s not always true. In line with the motto “Everything goes, nothing’s a must,” ISO 26262 offers enough flexibility in how its requirements are implemented. In fact, deviations are allowed—as long as it’s demonstrated that they don’t result in an unacceptable, safety-relevant risk.In other words: everything is fine as long as functional safety concepts are implemented completely and correctly, since these are the ultimate goal from a FuSa perspective. This episode explains the ISO 26262 requirements regarding tailoring.Which raises the question: can those requirements themselves be tailored? Hmm… now it’s getting complicated… but let’s wait and see.
Hello and welcome to another episode of “Applied FuSa”, a podcast for FuSa pragmatists.Tool evaluation and qualification… there is hardly any other task in the FuSa universe that has caused so much uncertainty. At least, that’s the impression gained from many internal and external discussions (for instance, at FuSa conferences and workshops). Actually, the topic is not that complicated. But the devil is very much in the details. We will illustrate this using the example of compiler evaluation.We will also share a few suggestions on how the effort involved can be significantly reduced.

Hello and welcome to a new episode of “Applied FuSa,” a podcast for FuSa pragmatists.Release for Production Report is a work product that is created at the end of a product development process to authorize a safety-related product for production.ISO 26262 specifies only five requirements for the Release for Production in Part 2, Section 6.4.13, which will be presented in this episode. In addition, we will also answer the question:Who should own the Release for Production Report?
Hello and welcome to a new episode of “Applied FuSa,” a podcast for FuSa pragmatists.In this episode, we will answer one of the most crucial questions in any safety-related project: How do I know that my product is sufficiently safe? And what exactly is the difference between compliance and achievement of functional safety?Note: The scope of this episode is limited to the safety of a supplier's design. In addition, non-technical requirements like compliance with standards still apply, of course.
