What is BS EN 60706-2 - Maintainability requirements and studies for equipment about?
BS EN 60706 is a standard that discusses the maintainability of equipment. BS EN 60706-2 is the second part of the multi-part series that outlines the maintainability requirements and related design and use parameters and discusses some activities necessary to achieve the required maintainability characteristics and their relationship to the planning of maintenance.
BS EN 60706-2 describes the general approach to reaching these objectives and shows how maintainability characteristics should be specified in a requirements document or contract.
BS EN 60706-2 purpose is to define the range of considerations when maintainability characteristics are included as requirements for the development or the acquisition of an item.
BS EN 60706-2 layouts maintainability studies in the preliminary and detailed design phases and their relationships to other maintainability and maintenance support tasks, described in associated standards. Maintainability considerations in design reviews are also included.
Note: BS EN 60706-2 is not intended to be a complete guide on how to specify or to contract for maintainability.
Who is BS EN 60706-2 - Maintainability requirements and studies for equipment for?
BS EN 60706-2 on maintainability requirements and studies for equipment is useful for:
- Equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS EN 60706-2 - Maintainability requirements and studies for equipment?
Maintainability is a characteristic that defines the ease with which an item can be maintained and supported during its period of use. Maintainability must be built into an item during the design and development phase, and it is therefore important that maintainability requirements are established properly.
BS EN 60706-2 assists you with the principle of maintainability, maintainability activities in the life cycle, specification of maintainability requirements, maintainability studies in the design, development phase, and design support to improve the maintainability of equipment.
BS EN 60706-2 guides you in incorporating high standards of maintainability into a product so that the cost of maintenance is reduced to an acceptable level. BS EN 60706-2 also assist in ensuring that the necessary maintenance can be undertaken to keep the product in a safe condition and that it can be operated to its required performance.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 60706-2, you can standardize the maintainability requirements of the equipment.
In addition, BS EN 60706-2 assists you to define the maintainability objectives and associated maintainability programmes for your equipment.
