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.

Customer stories

Transforming challenges into success

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.

Alps Electric – Supporting legacy architectures and seamless migration to Arm

We were required to migrate MCU platforms from a legacy architecture to an Arm architecture with integrated security features, in addition to meeting AUTOSAR standard specifications, within only six months lead time. In order to meet the project schedule, we got direct and flexible support from IAR.

Briggs & Stratton – Securing firmware in days, not months

The biggest surprise was that it was so simple. The cost for just the bootloader made sense. Then, we get all this other stuff on top of it that lets us do all kinds of really cool security stuff. I mean, then it just became kind of a no-brainer.
