Securing special features requires in-depth knowledge and is cost intensive. Legal aspects of the special features pose another challenge. Conformity with the IATF 16949 requirements is ultimately only possible by way of optimal concepts for the identification and safeguarding of the special features. Special features are product and/or procedural features that have a direct impact on the safety, approval and/or functions of the system. The VDA volume on the special features defines categories and safety concepts over the entire product life cycle, among other things. The FMEA activities are of particular importance for the identification and safeguarding as well as the "legally compliant" verification of the special features.The webinar will demonstrate how the special features are handled (identified, documented and secured) efficiently and in compliance with standards.
