MXAM成功续获TÜV SÜD认证
What Does TÜV SÜD’s Certification Mean for Your Projects?
Using MES Model Examiner provides:
- A TÜV-certified tool that supports ISO 26262-compliant development.
- Confidence that MXAM’s lifecycle, validation, and safety processes meet international functional safety standards.
- Assurance that the tool can be used safely and effectively in ASIL- or SIL-rated projects.
- Traceable compliance evidence, including documentation, test reports, and qualification kits support safety case creation and audits.
- Integrated safety documentation, including manuals, a Safety Manual, and qualification reports available within the tool.
- Demonstrated Functional Safety Management that ensures MXAM is developed and maintained under controlled and verified processes.
- Verified software development lifecycle compliant with ISO 26262, ensuring tool reliability and consistency.
- Defined modification and release management processes that ensure changes are analyzed, verified, and validated to maintain qualification validity.
- Established support and maintenance procedures that ensure continued compliance through customer support, bug tracking, and version control.
- Simplifies and shortens your qualification process by providing independent, trustworthy evidence of the tool’s compliance and reliability.
Key Takeaways from MXAM's TÜV SÜD Assessment
TÜV SÜD verified that the MES Model Examiner meets all applicable functional safety standards. During their comprehensive evaluation, they found that our Functional Safety Management processes are well established and properly maintained throughout every phase of the development lifecycle.
The assessment covered our complete development approach, from project management and documentation through to configuration, release, verification, and validation. TÜV SÜD confirmed that all processes are fully aligned with the required standards.
They also recognized that our error analysis and mitigation strategies are thoroughly documented in the Safety Manual, while our user documentation and the MXAM Qualification Kit provide customers with comprehensive safety-relevant information. Our customer support framework, including bug reporting and change management processes, was deemed effective in maintaining ongoing safety lifecycle compliance.
After extensive evaluation and rigorous testing, TÜV SÜD certified MXAM as a suitable tool for safety-related development projects.

Functional Safety in Software Development
Functional safety is a key aspect of embedded software development in both the automotive industry and automation technology. As software systems become more autonomous, intelligent, and connected, the need to meet strict safety standards is gaining even more importance across development teams.
MES has deep insight into these requirements through years of experience with MXAM, MES Model & Refactor® (MoRe), and MES Quality Commander® (MQC). Maintaining high quality standards in its own tool development has always been central to the MES approach.
MXAM is widely recognized as a leading tool for checking modeling guidelines in Simulink, TargetLink, and Embedded Coder environments. In addition to the MES Model Examiner ISO 26262 Qualification Kit, which supports tool qualification in customer-specific contexts. The TÜV SÜD certification continues to provide independent confirmation that MXAM is a reliable solution for use in safety-relevant software development.
