BS ISO 21448:2022 Road vehicles. Safety of the intended functionality

As road vehicles become more automated, new safety considerations apply. Reflecting this, we’ve now published a new safety standard: BS ISO 21448:2022 Road vehicles — Safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF). This document is specifically concerned with guaranteeing the safety of intended functionality in the absence of faults. This standard is also set to be cited in UNECE WP29 regulations, so will be a way to achieve vehicle type approval.
