This standard defines a data format with which results of functional safety analyses (such as FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis), FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality analysis), FTA (Fault Tree analysis) and related functional safety verification activities - such as fault injection - executed for IPs (Intellectual Property. See note in section 8.1), SoCs (System on Chip) and mixed signal ICs (Integrated Circuit) can be exchanged and made available to system integrators. The format will define languages, data fields and parameters with which the result of those analyses and verification activities can be represented, in a technology independent way. The goal of the standard is to provide a common ground for EDA (Electronic Design Automation), SoC and IP vendors in needs of developing tools, SoC and IP for functional safety critical applications.
