“We are accredited to IEC/ISO17065 to audit our customers’ functional safety systems to the ISO26262 requirements – this enables us to then approve these audited systems, essentially making MIRA a one-stop-shop for OEMs and their auditing and certification needs.”

Functional safety audits and assessments, against ISO 26262 are carried out by MIRA under the accreditation, giving customers a high level of confidence in the assessment process. Now, with ISO/IEC 17065, customers can leave MIRA’s headquarters in Nuneaton with their audited electrical and electronic systems fully accredited to a recognised certification standard.
Frost added:

This accreditation will offer customers the benefit of an impartial, professional audit that is recognised internationally as a measure of total quality with the added assurance of a suitably accredited certification process.”
