Vector, CANoe Acquires TUV SUD Safety Certification… Lowers Burden of Functional Safety Development Verification
Published2026.05.20 09:21
Vector's development and test platform, 'CANoe,' has obtained TÜV SÜD safety certification, securing a verification foundation that can be utilized for functional safety development in the automotive, medtech, and railway sectors. This certification is expected to help reduce the burden of tool verification required during the development of safety-related systems.Vector Korea announced on May 20 that CANoe has obtained safety certification from the global testing and certification body TÜV SÜD. The certification covers development processes based on major functional safety standards in the automotive, meditech, and railway sectors, including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, and EN 50716.
In safety-related projects, a procedure is required to verify whether development tools can be used in compliance with relevant standards. Previously, companies had to prepare for tool verification and audit responses on their own, which placed a burden on them in terms of development schedules and costs.
With this certification, companies using CANoe are expected to reduce resources spent on separate verification processes and lower uncertainties that may arise during regulatory compliance. In particular, continuous reliability of the development environment plays a critical role in the automotive, medical, and railway sectors, which have long product lifecycles.
The scope of certification included CANoe's key functions, such as communication flow analysis, automated testing of virtual and real systems, simulation, diagnosis, and stimulus mechanisms for fault and response analysis. Vector explained that this enabled CANoe to meet the T2 offline support tool requirements for safety-related development.
The certified product family consists of four types: CANoe, CANoe MedTech, CANoe Server Edition, and CANoe MedTech Server Edition. These product families support the safety integrity levels of IEC 61508 and EN 50716, the ASIL levels of ISO 26262, and the software safety levels of IEC 62304.
Vector announced that it plans to operate a regular re-certification system to ensure that future versions of CANoe also meet safety standard requirements. Through this, the company intends to continuously ensure the reliability of safety-related software and embedded system development environments.

In the SDV era, automotive development methods are shifting from "direct development" to "platform adoption."
According to "CES 2026 Day 2: Integration as Product: The Platform Response to SDV Complexity," recently published by Ian Riches of TechInsights, the 'Alloy Kore' from QNX and Vector and the 'EB civion' from Elektrobit, unveiled at CES 2026, appear on the surface to be solutions targeting different domains. However, their fundamental nature is identical—both represent a strategic shift away from the conventional approach where OEMs directly integrated and managed increasingly complex vehicle software, toward a pre-integrated platform-based approach to enhance development efficiency.
