Owing to ‘producer's liability for defective products’ the safety‐related components of vehicles have to be designed, tested and manufactured in an appropriate way. Some considerations are presented about useful procedures in design and testing of safety parts which may help to reach the required high reliability and minimize risks. Problem areas are indicated which need more research. In future the reliability approach in automotive industries will come closer to the standards in aeronautics. This trend is accelerated by the rapid use of electronics in automobiles.
