UL 4600

Evaluation of Autonomous Products

ANSI/UL 4600 is a safety-case standard for autonomous products. It focuses on how to argue that an autonomous system is acceptably safe without relying on a human fallback.

It is useful for autonomous vehicles, mobile robots, off-highway systems, and other products operating in complex environments. The standard emphasizes assumptions, , validation, monitoring, and evidence quality.

CSA helps structure safety cases, review autonomy evidence, connect UL 4600 with and functional safety work, train teams, and staff safety assurance roles.
