IEC/TC 56 - Dependability
To prepare international standards in the field of dependability, in all appropriate technological areas, including those not normally dealt with by IEC Technical Committees. Dependability is the ability to perform as and when required and is time dependent in application. Dependability can be expressed in terms of core attributes of availability, reliability, maintainability and supportability that are tailored to application-specific functional and service attributes. TC 56 standards are related to products, processes and management activities. The standards provide systematic methods and tools for dependability assessment, technical risk assessment and management of services and systems throughout their life cycles. Dependability is a technical discipline that is important in quality management, asset management risk management and financial decision making. It is managed through life cycle processes involving availability and its core performance attributes of reliability, maintainability and supportability, as well as application specific performance attributes such as recoverability, survivability, integrity and security for products and service dependability evaluation.
Sûreté de fonctionnement
Préparer des normes internationales dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement, dans tous les domaines technologiques appropriés, y compris ceux qui ne sont normalement pas traités par les comités techniques de l’IEC. La sûreté de fonctionnement est l’aptitude à fonctionner tel que et quand c’est requis et en fonction du temps d’application. La sûreté de fonctionnement peut être exprimée en termes d’attributs principaux de disponibilité, fiabilité, maintenabilité et supportabilité qui sont adaptés aux applications fonctionnelles spécifiques et aux attributs de service. Les normes du TC 56 sont relatives aux produits, aux processus ainsi qu’aux activités de management. Elles fournissent des méthodes et outils systématiques pour évaluer la sûreté de fonctionnement, l’évaluation du risque technique et la gestion des services et systèmes tout au long de leurs cycles de vie. La sûreté de fonctionnement est une discipline technique qui est importante dans la gestion de la qualité, gestion des actifs, gestion des risques et décisions en matière financière. Elle est gérée à travers les processus du cycle de vie impliquant la disponibilité et ses principaux attributs de performance de fiabilité, maintenabilité et supportabilité, de même que les attributs de performance liés aux applications spécifiques telles que la récupérabilité, la capacité de survie, l’intégrité et la sécurité pour l’évaluation de la sûreté de fonctionnement des produits et services.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
