BS PAS 1881:2020

This PAS specifies requirements for safety cases for automated vehicle trials and development testing in the UK to demonstrate that trialling and testing activities can be undertaken safely and securely.

It covers the development of an operational safety case to demonstrate that the risks to all affected parties throughout automated vehicle trials and testing are reduced as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). This includes operational risk assessments, safety testing, training, safety monitoring, compliance and permissions granted. It is applicable to all real-world testing environments, including test tracks and public domains and to all levels of driving automation systems. However, a safety case developed for test tracks might not need to include all elements detailed in this PAS.
