Standards & Public Safety Alignment

Sovereign Kinetic’s standards-related work is guided by four principles:

Compatibility with Existing Frameworks

Designed to complement, not replace—existing lifecycle, risk, and assurance standards.

  1. Auditability and Testability
    All proposed concepts are structured so they can be inspected, tested, and independently assessed.

  2. Respect for Consensus Processes
    All engagement occurs through formal standards development channels and in accordance with applicable policies, including intellectual property disclosure requirements.

    Standards and Frameworks of Interest

Sovereign Kinetic maps its technical work to the intent and structure of established safety and assurance standards, including:

  • UL 4600 Safety for the Evaluation of Autonomous Products

  • IEC 61508 Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems

  • ISO 26262 Road Vehicles – Functional Safety

  • IEC 60601 Medical Electrical Equipment

  • DO-178C / DO-254 Aerospace Software and Hardware Assurance

  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework and related guidance

Engagement with these standards is conducted through public comment processes, standards technical panels, and other appropriate forums.
