IEZS - Dependability

IEC 60300-3-11:2009 provides guidelines for the development of failure management policies for equipment and structures using reliability centred maintenance (RCM) analysis techniques. This part serves as an application guide and is an extension of IEC 60300-3-10, IEC 60300-3-12 and IEC 60300-3-14. Maintenance activities recommended in all three standards, which relate to preventive maintenance, may be implemented using this standard. The previous edition was based on ATA1-MGS-3; whereas this edition applies to all industries and defines a revised RCM algorithm and approach to the analysis process.

IEC 60300-3-15:2009 provides guidance for an engineering system's dependability and describes a process for realization of system dependability through the system life cycle. This standard is applicable to new system development and for enhancement of existing systems involving interactions of system functions consisting of hardware, software and human elements.

This International Standard gives guidance for reliability growth during final testing or acceptance testing of unique complex systems. It gives guidance on accelerated test conditions and criteria for stopping these tests.

This part of IEC 61163 describes particular methods to apply and optimize reliability stress screening processes for lots of repairable hardware assemblies, in cases where the assemblies have an unacceptably low reliability in the early failure period, and when other methods, such as reliability growth programmes and quality control techniques, are not applicable.

This guide has for purpose to provide guidance for the early consideration of testability aspects in design and development, and to assist in determining effective test procedures as an integral part of operation and maintenance.  This second edition constitutes a technical revision. It expands and provides more detail on the techniques and systems broadly outlined in the first edition.

This International Standard gives guidance for establishing a framework for obsolescence management and for planning a cost-effective obsolescence management process that is applicable through all phases of the product life cycle.

This International Standard gives guidance on the preparation of system dependability specifications. It provides a process for system evaluation and presents a procedure for determining system dependability requirements.  This International Standard is not intended for certification or to perform conformity assessment for contractual purposes. It is not intended to change any rights or obligations provided by applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

Describes fault tree analysis and provides guidance on its application to perform  an analysis, identifies appropriate assumptions, events and failure modes, and provides identification rules and symbols.
