About this event

A live 30-minute expert session on Supplemental FMEA-MSR — Monitoring and System Response Explained (FMEA · HARA — Hazard & Failure Analysis). What We'll Cover: What FMEA-MSR is and why the AIAG-VDA handbook added it for in-service diagnostic monitoring Step by step: identifying hazardous effects, rating Frequency and Monitoring, and evaluating the mitigated end state How MSR connects DFMEA content to ISO 26262 safety mechanisms and diagnostic coverage claims Common mistakes: running MSR on items with no monitoring concept, or double-counting detection controls The evidence chain from MSR rows to safety mechanism specs and fault-injection test results Related topics: fmea-msr · monitoring and system response · frequency rating · monitoring rating · diagnostic monitoring · safety mechanism

About Functional Safety Foundations

This online session delivers expert-led instruction on the regulatory landscape and implementation approach for Functional Safety Foundations.

The cross-sector fundamentals underlying every functional safety standard: risk as severity × likelihood, the safety function concept, integrity levels, the safety lifecycle, and the split between random and systematic failures.

What it regulates

Shared vocabulary and reasoning: hazard → risk → risk reduction allocation → safety requirement → verified implementation → maintained integrity in operation.

Who must comply

Everyone entering the field — the conceptual base of the entire catalog.

Key requirements of Functional Safety Foundations

  • Hazard and risk fundamentals
  • Safety function anatomy: sensor-logic-actuator with defined safe state
  • Integrity ladders (SIL/PL/ASIL/DAL) as risk-reduction currencies
  • Random vs systematic failure treatment
  • Lifecycle and management of functional safety incl. competence

Key concepts: Functional Safety Foundations

Functional safety management
Planning, competence, documentation and assessment wrapped around technical work.
Random vs systematic
Hardware wear-out/chance failures quantified statistically versus design/process errors controlled by rigor.
Risk reduction allocation
Distributing required risk reduction among mechanical design, safeguards, control functions and procedures.
Safe state
The defined condition a function drives the equipment to on demand or fault.

Frequently asked questions: Functional Safety Foundations

Why can't testing alone prove safety?

Rare-event targets (like 1e-7/h) are unverifiable by test duration, and systematic errors evade random testing — hence the standards' dual machinery of quantified hardware analysis plus process rigor and independent assessment.
