As we move toward vision zero, designers need a simple way to achieve system-level functional safety design and to meet standards compliance. At NXP our goal is to simplify this for industrial and automotive standards.
Functional Safety
General Functional Safety Standard
Certified applications for automotive with controlling functionality and applications for household appliances with moving parts.
ISO 26262
e.g. ADAS, gateway, body, wireless charging
IEC 61508
e.g. Electrical, electronic, programmable electronic, safety-related system
IEC 60730
e.g. Automatic Electrical appliances and building automation
Our system solutions are designed to continue toward vision zero with zero accidents on the roads or in the home.
Battery Management Systems
Fail-safe circuitry and mechanisms to monitor battery state of health.

Household Appliances
Ensured to prevent unsafe operation of the controlled application, the IEC 60730 Class B self-test library supports household appliances that require certification according to the latest IEC 60730 standards.
Industrial Safety
Safety has become an increasingly critical component when it comes to designing for industrial control systems– requiring minimal faults in harsh environments. System designers can be reassured that solutions with IEC 61508 certification from NXP stand up to the rugged industrial conditions.
