Ensuring Safety-Critical Compliance with Certified Development Solutions

Functional safety in automotive, industrial automation, and medical devices requires strict validation and adherence to industry standards. Achieving compliance can be complex, time-consuming, and costly, but IAR’s TÜV-certified tools streamline the process, reducing the need for costly redesigns and extensive validation efforts. With pre-certified compilers and analysis tools, teams can build safety-critical applications with confidence while ensuring software reliability and minimizing certification complexity.

Streamlining Certification with Pre-Certified Tools

Meeting certification standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304 can take up to 12 months and require significant resources if validating tools independently. Using TÜV-certified development tools eliminates the need for additional qualification steps, reducing liability risks, firmware updates, and regulatory setbacks.

IAR offers TÜV-certified tools covering 10 different safety standards, along with long-term support, prioritized assistance, and rapid issue resolution through a dedicated Functional Safety Support Agreement. IAR’s static and dynamic safety analysis continuously verifies software integrity, detecting vulnerabilities before deployment and minimizing system failures. Automated validation workflows ensure every software update meets safety requirements, reducing risk and lowering development costs.

With pre-certified tools and expert support, IAR enables development teams to focus on certifying their applications rather than their tools, accelerating compliance and reducing overall certification effort.

CERTIFIED ECOSYSTEM

Where RTOS, File Systems, and Networking Meet Functional Safety

Safety-critical development demands more than a certified toolchain. It demands a certified foundation across the whole stack: RTOS, file system, and networking.

PX5 RTOS

Pre-Certified Building Blocks for Safety-Critical Software

PX5 RTOS, PX5 FILE, and PX5 NET pair with IAR's safety-certified development tools to cover the full stack.

Together they're pre-certified for IEC 61508 SIL 4, ISO 26262 ASIL D, IEC 62304 Class C, and EN 50128 SW SIL 4.

TRANSFORMING CHALLENGES IN TO SUCCESS

Customer Cases

Get inspiration on how world-leading companies enhance their embedded development with our platform.

Casio — Improving Time to Market

Although we increased performance, we also had to maintain power consumption, which is why we divided processing into two cores. It was a lot of work, but we were able to find a balance between improved performance and power efficiency.

Osong Medical Innovation Foundation – Ensuring Medical Software Certification

Quality and certification are critical for the future of high-tech medical devices. By using C-STAT, we can improve code quality while preparing for IEC 62304-certified functional safety upgrades to meet regulatory standards.

NEWGIN – Strengthening Software Quality for the Future

As firmware complexity grows, we see an increasing need for tools that help ensure software quality. Static analysis and CI tool integration will be key to improving reliability and maintaining high standards in development.

VICTEK – High-Quality Code for Secure IoT Systems

Developing low-power IoT systems requires defect-free, high-quality code to ensure secure integration with optimized applications and networks, while minimizing cybersecurity risks.

Landis+Gyr – Early Bug Detection with Static Analysis

To maintain high product quality, we need tools that catch defects early in development. C-STAT allows us to find bugs faster, reduce time to market, and streamline development costs, making it a core tool across our sites.
