Dependability management - Part 2: Guidelines for dependability management

Guidelines for product design, development, evaluation and process enhancements of dependability management.

This part of EN 60300 provides guidelines for dependability management of product design, development, evaluation and process enhancements. Life cycle models are used to describe product development or project phases. A tailoring process is recommended for the selection of relevant dependability programme tasks for time phased implementation to meet varied user needs.

This European Standard is applicable for detailed planning and implementation of a dependability programme to meet specific product needs. The tailoring process provides a method for selection of dependability programme elements and associated processes from a product or project perspective.

This standard is also applicable to all organizations, during all lifecycle phases and in any contract situation, regardless of type, size and product provided.

This European Standard supersedes BS 5760-1:1996 which is withdrawn.

This standard includes the following cross references:

IEC 60300-3-1, IEC 61014, ISO/IEC 15026.
