The MISRA C Guidelines
Now in its 3rd Edition, MISRA C (or more officially, The MISRA Guidelines for the Use of the C Language in Critical Systems) is a well-regarded document, for use in all industries – not just automotive, and not just in the safety domain.
The MISRA C Working Group
I was invited to join (although co-opted might be a better word) the MISRA C Working Group in November 2007. Following the publication of MISRA C:2012 and the 'retirement' of the then Chairman (Steve Montgomery) I took over as Committee Chairman.
Since joining, I have taken a full involvement in the production of several documents (see MISRA website for further details of these publications):
