IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3)The QNX Neutrino RTOS Safe Kernel is certified to meet the requirements of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61508 Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3). IEC 61508 is an international standard for the functional safety of electronic systems, and offers a very high level of reliability and risk reduction when used in safety-critical systems for transportation, energy generation, process control, and other industries. Meeting the IEC 61508 requirements involves a systematic assessment by an independent certification body. |

Common Criteria ISO/IEC 15408 Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL)4+The QNX Neutrino RTOS Secure Kernel is certified to meet the stringent requirements of the Common Criteria ISO/IEC 15408 Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 4+. The Target of Evaluation (TOE) includes not only the mature QNX Neutrino OS kernel, but also its multi-core (symmetric and bound multiprocessing) and secure partitioning technology. Certification to EAL 4+ validates that the security parameters claimed have been methodically tested by an independent lab and the certification authority (the Canadian Security Establishment (CSE)), and means that the QNX Neutrino secure kernel will exceed the assurance requirements required for EAL4. |
