Safety & Compliance Consulting for ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and more

Proven expertise for reliable compliance: Consulting by Validas

Implementing ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or similar compliance standards is rarely straightforward. It touches many parts of the organization—processes, roles, documentation—and often raises more questions than answers at the beginning.

We support you in working through these challenges in a clear and practical way. The goal is not just to meet the standard, but to make functional safety usable in your daily development work.

About our consulting services

Guidance that builds independence

We guide rather than simply deliver documentation, support informed decisions, and help you interpret and prioritise standards. Through hands-on training, we ensure your teams gain the skills and confidence to manage safety tasks independently. Our approach is pragmatic, transparent and sustainable, helping you embed functional safety efficiently and in full compliance.

  • Uncover potential risks related to audits, releases, or customer approvals

  • Prioritise findings based on criticality and project phase

  • Deliver a solid and actionable basis for your next steps

Pragmatic roadmaps to close identified gaps

Requirements and safety management support

Execute safety analyses with confidence

We help you turn safety requirements into a structured, manageable process that your teams can confidently work with.

From planning to documentation, we support the execution of key safety analyses such as FMEA, SFMEA and DFA. Our role is not just to participate, but to bring structure, methodological expertise and real project experience so that results are clear, consistent and fully traceable.

At the same time, we support you in defining and refining your safety-related work products. This includes deriving and formulating safety requirements, ensuring consistent traceability between analyses, requirements and implementation, and building robust test strategies, test specifications and evidence documentation.

Our focus is always on practicality. Requirements should be testable, understandable and effective in real projects, not just formally correct.
