This document describes System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) approaches to identify Security Engineering (including Cybersecurity) hazards and risks associated with safety critical systems.

This recommended practice supplements existing SAE guidance on the application of the System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to safety critical systems in healthcare with a focus on medical devices. The expanded guidance provides a concise set of proven techniques practitioners have successfully applied when using STPA on safety-critical, human-interfacing healthcare systems. The practice is not meant as a stand-alone document but is expected to be used in conjunction with other SAE guidance involving STPA. This recommended practice does not repeat aspects of the STPA process captured in other documents. Rather, this document includes healthcare-specific considerations not captured in other documents. The document is meant to provide broad and generalized guidance and is meant to be applicable across any domain.

This SAE Recommended Practice presents a method and example results for determining the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) for automotive motion control electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems. The ASIL determination activity is required by ISO 26262-3, and it is intended that the process and results herein are consistent with ISO 26262. The technical focus of this document is on vehicle motion control systems. The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is limited to collision-related hazards associated with motion control systems. This SAE Recommended Practice focuses on motion control systems since the hazards they can create generally have higher ASIL ratings, as compared to the hazards non-motion control systems can create. Because of this, the Functional Safety Committee decided to give motion control systems a higher priority and focus exclusively on them in this SAE Recommended Practice.

This document provides recommended practices regarding how System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) may be applied to safety-critical systems in any industry in the area of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) evaluations.

This document provides recommended practices regarding how System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) may be applied to safety-critical systems in any industry in the area of Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) evaluations.

This document describes System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) approaches to evaluate human-machine interaction (HMI) found effective when conducting STPA human factors and/or a system safety evaluation.

This document provides a standard definition of the System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) methodology for critical applications in all industries. This standard defines the terminology, the steps in the methodology, the flow of activities, and the expected deliverables necessary to demonstrate the expected STPA methodology has been followed. This standard may be used when addressing compliance with contractual or regulatory requirements regarding risk assessments, safety assessments, development assurance, system security engineering, or other similar requirements as appropriate. In addition, this standard may be used to demonstrate that an effective STPA evaluation has been conducted when compliance is not of paramount concern.

This document describes best practices for the use of Rust in Safety-Related Systems development.The scope will not include repetition of existing guidelines, but will summarize and point to them; if existing guidelines differ from this document, these will be noted. Objectives of this task force will be to: 1. Evaluate the Rust ecosystem to identify a Safer subset of Rust. 2. Develop guidelines with respect to the Rust subset for: a. Integrating Rust into automotive and aerospace safety-related applications b. Avoiding programming mistakes and failures that could lead to hazards, and c. Increasing confidence in its use in the automotive and aerospace industry 3. Document evidence to support the guidelines, and to 4. Provide general recommendations for the use of Rust to support safety and cybersecurity.

Scope of this effort intends to provide both educational materials and recommended practices regarding how system theoretic process analysis (STPA) may be applied within a safety assessment process focusing on safety-critical content.

This SAE Recommended Practice presents a method and example results for determining the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) for automotive motion control electrical and electronic (E/E) systems. The ASIL determination activity is required by ISO 26262-3:2011 [1], and it is intended that the process and results herein are consistent with ISO 26262:2011 [1]. The technical focus of this document is on vehicle motion control systems. It is limited to passenger cars weighing up to 3.5 metric tons. Furthermore, the scope of this recommended practice is limited to collision-related hazards associated with motion control systems. The recommended practice focused on motion control systems since the hazards they can create generally have higher ASIL ratings, as compared to the hazards non-motion control systems can create.

Furthermore, the scope of this recommended practice is limited to collision-related hazards. ISO 26262:2011 [1] has a wider scope than SAE J2980, covering other functions and accidents (not just motion control or collisions as in SAE J2980).
