ASIL D, an abbreviation of Automotive Safety Integrity Level D, refers to the highest classification of initial hazard (injury risk) defined within ISO 26262 and to that standard's most stringent level of safety measures to apply for avoiding an unreasonable residual risk [REF].
Referring to "Quality Management", the level QM means that risk associated with a hazardous event is not unreasonable and does not therefore require safety measures in accordance with ISO 26262 [REF].
