Functional Safety

SGS’s functional safety experts help develop components, products and safety processes featuring safety-relevant functions that comply with the appropriate international regulations (mainly ISO 26262 and IEC 61508). This minimizes your risk by reducing the likelihood of product liability claims, while simultaneously fostering your reputation for safety and quality.
