The MISRA Guidelines for Automotive Safety Arguments are now available to purchase from the MISRA webstore.
The guidelines provide clarity on how to develop Safety Arguments in line with existing standards such as ISO 26262, with a view to justifying that the risk associated with an automotive system is within industry norms. Types of evidence to support the argument are also suggested, as well as advice on practical application.
One of the specific motivations for developing these guidelines was to support the requirements for a safety case in ISO 26262. Since ISO 26262:2018 the safety case is now explicitly required to be based on an argument.
