# ISO/SAE 21448: Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF)

Canonical ID: `a8a85c70-f388-4e25-826b-f54df5d69b93`

- **Jurisdiction:** [Global](/locations/global.md) (id: `6753d6b9-d63f-41f8-b672-4d80bdb4dd82`)
- **Kind:** `safety_standard`
- **Status (derived):** in_effect
- **Effective:** 2022-06-01

ISO/SAE 21448 addresses safety hazards arising from performance limitations of intended functionality, complementing ISO 26262 which addresses failures of electrical/electronic systems. Critical for autonomous driving systems where AI/ML performance insufficiencies can cause hazards without system failures.
