SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Automotive engineers working in China need to apply GB/T 34590-2022 (the Chinese national standard identical to ISO 26262:2018) across the full functional safety lifecycle, but navigating its 12 parts, ASIL determination rules, and China-specific localization requirements is time-consuming and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standard Structure Reference: Covers all 12 parts of GB/T 34590-2022, from vocabulary and concept phase through hardware/software development, production, and supporting processes. - ASIL Determination & Decomposition: Provides the HARA three-dimension assessment (Severity, Exposure, Controllability), the ASIL determination matrix, and decomposition rules per Part 9. - China Localization Guidance: Details China-specific HARA exposure data, unique traffic scenarios (e-bikes, dense fog, construction zones), supply chain safety culture considerations, and certification pathways via CATARC, TÜV SÜD, and SGS. - Use Case: A safety engineer defining safety goals for an ADAS feature sold in China can use this Skill to run HARA with Chinese road exposure data, assign ASIL levels, and plan decomposition across redundant elements. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to determine the ASIL level for a hazard scenario with severity S2, exposure E4, and controllability C3 under GB/T 34590-2022.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine ASIL level using HARA analysis?▼

ASIL determination combines Severity (S0-S3), Exposure (E0-E4), and Controllability (C0-C3) ratings through a lookup matrix. For example, S3+E4+C3 yields ASIL D, while S1+E2+C2 yields QM. The Skill provides the full matrix and rating definitions.

What is the difference between GB/T 34590 and ISO 26262?▼

GB/T 34590-2022 is technically identical (IDT) to ISO 26262:2018 with no substantive differences. The practical differences lie in China localization: HARA exposure rates must use Chinese road traffic data, and safety goals must cover China-specific scenarios like e-bike mixed traffic.

How does ASIL decomposition work in functional safety?▼

ASIL decomposition splits a safety requirement across independent redundant elements, such as ASIL D into ASIL C(D) plus ASIL A(D) or ASIL B(D) plus ASIL B(D). Decomposed elements must satisfy independence requirements verified through dependent failure and common cause analysis per Part 9.

Does China require mandatory functional safety certification?▼

China currently has no mandatory functional safety certification. Voluntary assessment services are available through CATARC and international bodies like TÜV SÜD and SGS operating in China, and certification may become linked to market access in the future.

How does functional safety relate to SOTIF for autonomous driving?▼

Functional safety (GB/T 34590) addresses hazards from system malfunctions, while SOTIF (GB/T 43267) addresses hazards from functional insufficiencies without failure. The two standards are complementary and both apply to L3 automated driving systems.
