What is BS EN 62502 - Event tree analysis about?
BS EN 62502 discusses analysis techniques for dependability. BS EN 62502 specifies the consolidated basic principles of Event Tree Analysis (ETA) and provides guidance on modelling the consequences of an initiating event as well as analysing these consequences qualitatively and quantitatively in the context of dependability and risk-related measures.
More specifically, BS EN 62502 deals with the following topics in relation to event trees:
Defining the essential terms and describing the usage of symbols and ways of graphical representation
Specifying the procedural steps involved in the construction of the event tree
Elaborating on the assumptions, limitations and benefits of performing the analysis
Identifying relationships with other dependability and risk-related techniques and elucidating suitable fields of applications
Giving guidelines for the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the evaluation
Providing practical examples
