How does ULs software safety review differ from an ISO 9001 audit of software development?
ISO 9001 specifies that a manufacturer complies with its documented Quality Management System. UL 1998 addresses the detailed safety-related characteristics of specific software in a product. A portion of the software safety review involves an on-site audit, which can be effectively integrated with an ISO 9001 initial or surveillance audit. We can prepare a proposal if you are interested. When is the best time to get my software reviewed?The earlier, the better. UL 1998 reviews can begin early in the software design process and continue throughout development. Identifying safety risks early allows manufacturers to avoid extensive software redesign later, which helps trim software development time and costs.
