As an auto­no­mous and inde­pen­dent com­pa­ny, GRABAND looks back on deca­des of expe­ri­ence in Func­tion­al Safe­ty— sin­ce 1986 in rail­way tech­no­lo­gy (engi­nee­ring) and sin­ce 2006 in the auto­mo­ti­ve sec­tor.

Our auto­mo­ti­ve divi­si­on has(disposes of) an inspec­tion body accre­di­ted accor­ding to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012, Type A, enab­ling us to act as an inde­pen­dent part­ner for you.

Based on ISO 26262, we are respon­si­ble for assess­ments within the scope of Con­fir­ma­ti­on Mea­su­res as well as vali­da­ti­ons of deve­lo­p­ment pro­ces­ses, for exam­p­le, for safe­ty-rele­vant vehic­le sys­tems.

A safe­ty plan defi­nes the objec­ti­ves of acti­vi­ties and indi­vi­du­al methods. We review the plan­ning of the sub­se­quent fur­ther pro­cess steps, such as the inte­gra­ti­on and test stra­tegy, safe­ty vali­da­ti­on, and the safe­ty ana­ly­sis.


During hazard and risk ana­ly­ses, we exami­ne, among other things, how the iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and cate­go­riza­ti­on of poten­ti­al hazards have been con­duc­ted. Poten­ti­al hazards mani­fest through mal­func­tions of the vehic­le sys­tem.

Fur­ther­mo­re, we review the defi­ned safe­ty goals and assess whe­ther they are sui­ta­ble for cove­ring the hazards.


When revie­w­ing func­tion­al and tech­ni­cal safe­ty con­cepts, among others, we pay atten­ti­on to whe­ther rele­vant assump­ti­ons and cons­traints from the hazard and risk ana­ly­sis have been cor­rect­ly and com­ple­te­ly incor­po­ra­ted.

The pro­ject spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons have to be ful­ly spe­ci­fied and pre­sen­ted in detail. A tech­ni­cal safe­ty con­cept has to explain what is to be imple­men­ted, while a Func­tion­al Safe­ty con­cept should descri­be how it is to be imple­men­ted.


Safe­ty cases aim to pre­sent and eva­lua­te the safe­ty argu­men­ta­ti­on. Ther­eby, the indi­vi­du­al work results have to be com­pi­led to ensu­re appro­pria­te veri­fia­bi­li­ty.

We veri­fy for you whe­ther this evi­dence has been pro­vi­ded com­ple­te­ly and cor­rect­ly, and whe­ther the argu­men­ta­ti­on is plau­si­ble and suf­fi­ci­ent­ly jus­ti­fies the achie­ve­ment of Func­tion­al Safe­ty. Ther­eby, the sub­ject of each safe­ty evi­dence and its scope have to be cle­ar­ly descri­bed.
