IAR Certified compiler for functional safety

Home » IAR Certified compiler for functional safety

The functional safety editions of our tools are certified by the safety-accredited certification body, TÜV SÜD, as qualified for development of safety-related applications according to the mentioned standards.

By selecting IAR Embedded Workbench, functional safety edition, as a development tool, you do not have to evaluate the tool development process yourself and also not demonstrate language standards compliance by your own testing. This has already been taken care of by TÜV SÜD. The same applies to the functional safety editions of IAR Build Tools.

IAR Certified compiler for functional safety

Certified by TÜV SÜD

Certified build chain by TÜV SÜD and validated according to IEC 61508, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, EN 50128/ EN 50657, IEC 60730, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61511 and ISO 25119.

Simplified validation

A Functional Safety certificate and a Safety report from TÜV SÜD gives you access to a simplified validation. Additionally, the included Safety Guide has practical tips for helping you certify your application, from detailing the use of the toolchain in a functional safety context to libraries and C/C++ programming language recommendations.

Support for entire product lifecycle

A special Functional Safety Support and Update Agreement guarantees support for the sold version for the longevity of the contract including access to validated service packs and regular reports of known problems.

Integrated static analysis add-on

Available as an add-on product, the C-STAT tool for static code analysis, in addition to the certified build tools, further ensures compliance with the standards.

 

Functional safety in embedded systems

Functional safety is one of the most important features in many embedded systems today, especially within sectors such as automotive, industrial automation and medical. High-integrity standards frequently require you to provide extensive justification for selecting a particular development tool, unless the tool is already certified. The proof of compliance for the tools increases cost and time of development. To solve this problem, we provide certified versions of the complete compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm and for Renesas RX, RL78 and RH850.
With the certified versions, a special functional safety support and update agreement is offered.
Certified by TÜV SÜD
The functional safety versions of the tools are certified by TÜV SÜD according to the requirements of IEC 61508, the international umbrella standard for functional safety, as well as ISO 26262, which is used for automotive safety-related systems. In addition, the tools are certified according to the European railway standard EN 50128. For Arm, RX and RL78, the certification also covers IEC 62304 for medical device software.

Functional safety standards

IEC 61508
IEC 61508 is the international umbrella standard for functional safety. The standard, and standards derived from it, is used within all kinds of industries with requirements on reliability and safety, for example process industries, the oil and gas industry, nuclear power plants, machinery, and railway control systems. The certification validates the quality of IAR Systems’ entire development processes, as well as the delivered software.
ISO 26262
ISO 26262 is used for automotive safety-related systems. The certification validates the quality of IAR Systems’ entire development processes, as well as the delivered software.
EN 50128
EN 50128 is a European standard for safety related software in railway applications. The standard is derived from IEC 61508.
IEC 62304
The international standard IEC 62304 is a standard which specifies life cycle requirements for the development of medical software and software within medical devices.
