Abstract : This research examines the applicability of ISO 26262, originally designed for automotive systems, in various non-automotive industries. Through a meticulous analysis of the challenges and adaptability of extending ISO 26262 beyond its conventional automotive domain, the study illuminates its nuanced applicability and inherent limitations. Furthermore, an in-depth comparative analysis between ISO 26262 and MIL STD 882E, a safety standard utilized in military applications, delineates their unique methodologies, principles, strengths, and limitations within safety management. Building on this comparative foundation, the research proposes a pioneering hybrid framework for non-automotive applications that integrates essential aspects of ISO 26262 and MIL STD882E. This unified approach establishes a comprehensive safety framework that transcends sector-specific constraints and offers a flexible and scalable solution. The proposed framework draws upon ISO 26262’s detailed focus on automotive electronics and the comprehensive hazard-management principles inherent inMIL-STD 882E. The study concludes by presenting the proposed unified approach as a significant step towards achieving enhanced safety standards. This underscores the need for a dynamic and adaptable safety management system to address the intricate demands of contemporary technological environments. The pro- posed framework serves as a blueprint for enhancing safety across diverse sectors and sets a precedent for future develop- ments in safety standards, prioritizing clarity, responsibility, and regulatory effectiveness.
