In addition, IAR Systems also announced the availability of a special support agreement for customers working with critical security development.
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM has been tested and approved in accordance with the requirements of the supporting tools presented in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61508, the international standard for functional safety, as well as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262, which is used for automotive safety systems. IEC 61508, and standards derived from it, are used in all types of industries with reliability and safety requirements, for example, process industries, the oil and gas industry, nuclear power plants, machinery, and railway control systems.
The assessment covered the relevant parts of IAR Systems' development processes, as well as documentation related to customer security and customer support. The quality assurance measures implemented by IAR Systems and the included Security Manual enable customers to use IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM in the development of security-related software for each Security Integrated Level (SIL) according to IEC 61508 and each Automotive Security Integrity Level (ASIL) of ISO 26262 without additional tool qualification.
“As the number of embedded systems with functional safety requirements grows and safety standards require tools to be qualified, there is an increasing demand for ‘pre-qualified’ development tools,” comments Günter Greil, Manager of the Generic Safety Systems Division at TÜV SÜD Rail GmbH. “TÜV SÜD has evaluated the integrated construction toolchain in the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM, which has demonstrated its ability to meet certification requirements. The toolchain is suitable for use in safety-related developments.”
"Certification is a true recognition of the high quality of our products," says Stefan Skarin, CEO of IAR Systems. "Our solution is based on many years of experience supporting customers in various industries who develop security-related functionality. By using our tools, companies can simplify their certification process, save time and money, and be confident that their investment in tools is protected throughout the product lifecycle.".
The certified version comes with a functional safety certificate, a TÜV SÜD safety report, and a Safety Manual. With the certified tool suite, IAR Systems provides Functional Safety Support and an Upgrade Agreement with guaranteed support for the sold version for the duration of the contract. In addition to priority technical support, the agreement includes access to validated service packages and regular reports of known deviations and issues.
