INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION ____________
DESIGN REVIEW
FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This International Standard has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56: Dependability. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992 and its amendment 1(1994) and constitutes a technical revision. The major changes with regard to the previous edition concern the inclusion of the previous amendment
which dealt with environmental effects (10.2.7), human factors (10.2.9) and legal matters (10.2.10), as well as clarification of responsibilities for the design review process and the design review process itself. This bilingual version (2006-02) replaces the English version. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 56/1044/FDIS 56/1064/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table.

At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed, • withdrawn, • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended.

INTRODUCTION The dependability of a product is enhanced through implementation of necessary disciplines during the design and development phases of a product’s life cycle. Like other technical and engineering disciplines, a design review needs to be properly managed in order to achieve its objectives. Properly implemented, design reviews enhance the potential for delivering a product of the required dependability, quality, performance, safety and potential for reduction in costs and delivery schedule. Both supplier and customer can utilize it. A design review is an advisory activity. It is intended primarily to provide verification of the work of the design development team, and to provide recommendations, where possible, to improve the product or process and its realization. Thus design reviews should be considered as a confirmation and refining procedure and not a creative one. Design reviews, regardless of frequency or depth cannot replace good product definitions, design specifications, and management of the design and development process. Used as a control process, design reviews can provide the necessary verification of the successful outcome of the design effort at a given time. Design reviews should not be confused
