What is BS EN 62308 - Equipment reliability assessment methods about?
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:
