Certified for Safety Projects in Accordance With EN 50716: The CANoe Development and Test Platform From Vector

Stuttgart, Germany, 2026-05-12 – Vector has received safety certification for its CANoe platform from TÜV SÜD. Thus, an independently tested tool for the development and testing of safety-related systems is now available. The certificate confirms that CANoe is qualified for use in development processes in accordance with EN 50716. Users benefit from reduced effort for tool verifications and audit preparation, greater investment security, and a reliable basis for tool-related safety verifications. The certification covers core functional areas of CANoe. These include analyzing communication flows and automated testing of virtual and real overall systems. It also contains simulation, diagnostics, and stimulation mechanisms for targeted fault and reaction analysis. Thus, the TÜV confirms that CANoe meets the requirements for a T2 offline support tool for safety-related developments. For users, certification means a significant reduction in the workload of day-to-day project work. Using a certified tool significantly reduces the effort required for in-house tool qualification because an independent assessment is already available. At the same time, planning reliability increases because CANoe is a tested tool that supports compliance with regulatory requirements and minimizes risks in safety-related projects. This is a decisive factor, especially with long product life cycles. As part of the certification process, the products CANoe and CANoe Server Editions were checked. Both are qualified for all safety integrity levels in accordance with EN 50716. Vector plans to renew CANoe's safety certification regularly in the future. These recertifications ensure that future versions of the products will meet the high requirements of the relevant safety standards. This will provide customers with a tested, future-proof tool for developing and testing their safety-related software and embedded systems in the long term. More information at: www.vector.com/canoe
