BS EN 62308 is a technical specification that describes early reliability assessment methods for items based on field data and test data for components and modules. BS EN 62308 is applicable to the mission, safety, and business-critical, high integrity, and complex items. BS EN 62308 contains information on why early reliability estimates are required and how and where the assessment would be used. Finally, it details methods for reliability assessment and the data required to support the assessment. To estimate durability (lifetime or wear-out), the physics-of-failure method is used.
Three types of assessment are discussed in detail:
BS EN 62308 is applicable to making reliability estimates for specifications, design, design modification and support engineering.
Note: BS EN 62308 does not, however, provide information on assessing the reliability of software systems but can be used for assessing the reliability of hardware systems containing embedded software.
BS EN 62308 on equipment reliability assessment methods is useful for:
An assessment method is employed in the same setting with the same type of subjects, reliability refers to whether the results are consistent. Equipment reliability refers to the ability to produce consistent or predictable results. BS EN 62308 is essential for guidelines on assessment methods, namely the similarity approach, models for durability analysis, and handbook methods. BS EN 62308 provides you with test methods that have lower evaluation costs, higher estimating efficiency and accuracy, and more stable assessment result.
BS EN 62308 provides users with reduced minor stops and speed losses due to the stability of the process. BS EN 62308 ensures high quality, efficiency, quality management, reliability, and credibility.
