Certification is Key to Active Compliance

AV and ADAS solutions are responsible for radically transforming our lives, making transportation safer and more efficient. The deployment of safe automated driving systems engages companies by holding them to a high standard of public trust. Companies need to implement active compliance with solution testing and certification as they prepare to enter the market. 

Taking this broad view of the importance of regulatory affairs and compliance for commercialization, especially in demonstrating the market readiness of our community, OPINA provides both pre-certification and certification services for software developed on the platform. 

We also provide compliance and regulatory training programs, where key team members and stakeholders can earn certificates.

  • Implementing robust safety precautions to mitigate and control risks 
  • Developing a functional safety and threat assessment plan 
    • ISO 26262, SOTIF and cybersecurity standards will be used to address requirements and processes to mitigate or eliminate risks during testing of AVs 
    • Constructing risk management procedures:
      • Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) defined by ISO26262 will be determined for all identified safety scenarios in the SMP
      • Analysis of Likelihood; Analysis of Potential Impact; and Analysis of Controllability studies will be incorporated
    • Establishing an audit program to evaluate performance and produce an approval or a failure document noting what corrective actions are needed for safety deficiencies.
