Embedded Software that Enables Product Safety

Designers of devices that could harm people if they fail in some manner, or even if used incorrectly, have many more issues to consider than the developers of other types of equipment. The devices are often complex, may be used by a variety of users, have complex communication requirements, and in some cases must safeguard confidential data.

While the primary consideration is safety, the device must also achieve its functional goals while minimizing danger to the user, others who interact with the device, and the environment. Industries, such as Aerospace, Automotive, Industrial, and Medical, have different product safety software requirements and certifications.
