What a Provael report can be used for
Verification & validation of an AI element
In plain words: an adversarial-robustness rate with a matched benign control is evidence about the AI element, produced repeatably, for its verification and validation. Provael’s catalogue entry reads “AI — Functional safety and AI systems (verification & validation evidence)”, with the signal “Adversarial-robustness ASR + benign-FPR control as V&V evidence for an AI element used in or alongside a safety function (the report is one input to the AI-safety lifecycle)”.
The evidence
- An attack-success rate per EAI risk with a 95% interval and a benign false-positive control, as V&V evidence for the AI element.
- The benign control is the part a functional-safety reviewer will ask for first: a rate with no baseline cannot separate an induced failure from a noisy detector.
- Retained, digest-bound run artifacts (report.json#/by_attack and report.json#/benign_fpr) so the evidence can be re-checked rather than taken on trust.
What it cannot be used for
A mapping identifies possible relevance. It does not establish that this framework applies to your product, that anything here is compliance, that an assessor or insurer will accept it, or a real-world risk probability. Whether it applies to your product depends on your role, market and product class: a question for your counsel, not a determination this page makes.
- Simulation evidence for the tested checkpoint and protocol. Physical safety and conformity require separate assessment.
- Provael measures adversarial robustness - susceptibility to manipulation - not general accuracy, reliability, or functional safety.
- The measured result uses templated, auditable attacks; the search-based families (optimized, universal_patch, gradient_patch) have no real-policy rate. Results are a floor on susceptibility - a behavioural lower bound, not a certified worst-case bound.
- Provael’s own Embodied AI Security Top 10 is an independent taxonomy maintained by Provael, not one of the instruments on this page; a mapping onto it is a categorisation, not a legal or standards requirement.
Running Provael does not make a system compliant or certified - it generates measurements you can put into a conformity or assurance file. Provael is not a notified body, a lab, or a certification scheme.

Clause references are indicative: check each against the text you hold before you cite it.
The framework
- A Technical Report from ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42, published January 2024 and applicable across sectors rather than tied to one.
- It covers three distinct situations, and they are not interchangeable: AI used inside a safety-related function, non-AI safety functions used to constrain AI-controlled equipment, and AI used to design or develop a safety function.
- A TR is informative. It carries no clauses you can be certified against, so nothing here is a conformity route - it is vocabulary and method that a safety argument can cite.
- Related: ISO/IEC 23894:2023 (AI risk management) and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (AI management system). TR 5469 is the functional-safety-facing one of the three.
