| 32 | +Overview |
| 33 | +^^^^^^^^ |
| 34 | + |

| 39 | +The process model provides processes, which conform to state-of the art standards |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +ASPICE 4.0 |
| 42 | +ISO 26262 |

| 51 | +The work products compiled in the safety package are created with care according to a |
| 52 | +process satisfying standards, but the project, being a non-profit and open source |
| 53 | +organization, can not take over any liability for its content. |
