The term refers to resources that offer digital versions of content related to the ISO 26262 standard, made available without cost. The ISO 26262 standard defines functional safety for electrical/electronic (E/E) systems in passenger vehicles. For example, a document explaining the ASIL decomposition process within ISO 26262, provided as a downloadable file at no charge, could be classified under this topic.
Gaining access to information related to functional safety standards, particularly without monetary investment, can be advantageous for individuals and organizations. Such access can facilitate initial understanding, preliminary research, and the assessment of whether more comprehensive resources are necessary. Historically, functional safety information often came with a significant price barrier, hindering widespread adoption and knowledge dissemination.
