This standard BS IEC 60300-3-5:2001 Dependability management. Application guide is classified in these ICS categories:
03.100.40 Research and development
21.020 Characteristics and design of machines, apparatus, equipment
29.020 Electrical engineering in general
03.120.01 Quality in general
Provides guidelines for the planning and performing of reliability tests and the use of statistical methods to analyse test data. Describes the tests related to repaired and non-repaired items together with tests for constant and non-constant failure intensity and constant and non-constant failure rate. The purpose of these tests is to discover weaknesses in the design and to undertake actions to eliminate these weaknesses and thereby improve performance, quality, safety, robustness, reliability and availability and reduce costs.
