BS EN 62741 gives guidance on the content and application of a dependability case and establishes general principles for the preparation of a dependability case.
BS EN 62741 is written in a basic project context where a customer orders a system that meets dependability requirements from a supplier and then manages the system until its retirement. The methods provided in BS EN 62741 may be modified and adapted to other situations as needed.
BS EN 62741 on demonstration of dependability requirements is useful for:
Dependability is the ability to perform as and when required. Acceptable levels of dependability are therefore essential for continued performance and optimized life cycle costs.
BS EN 62741 guides you on all aspects of reliability, availability, maintainability and supportability, as well as other attributes such as usability, testability and durability. In addition, BS EN 62741 informs you on all aspects of dependability system, including components, processes, hardware, software and the interfaces between them.
Overall, BS EN 62741 acts as a guidance document that enables you to prepare a dependability case for systems to prove they perform as expected and are reliable.
