What is BS EN 62347 - Guidance on system dependability specifications about?
BS EN 62347 is a technical specification that gives guidance on the preparation of system dependability specifications. BS EN 62347 provides a process for system evaluation and presents a procedure for determining system dependability requirements.
BS EN 62347 is not intended for certification or to perform conformity assessment for contractual purposes. It is not intended to change any rights or obligations provided by applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
Who is BS EN 62347 - Guidance on system dependability specifications for?
BS EN 62347 on guidance on system dependability specifications is useful for:
- Quality control personnel
- Safety and security systems
- Policy makers of the system
- Maintenance personnel
Why should you use BS EN 62347 - Guidance on system dependability specifications?
Dependability is a measure of a system's availability, reliability, maintainability and other properties such as durability, safety, and security in systems engineering. Dependability in real-time computing refers to the ability to provide services that can be trusted across time. BS EN 62347 provides the rationale for the importance of dependability in system specification by functions. BS EN 62347 presents a procedure for determining system dependability requirements. For generic system operation, the process of determining the functions needed to meet system dependability objectives are described in BS EN 62347. BS EN 62347 is based on the system model and categorization of functions established in the IEC 61069 series.
Using BS EN 62347 will extend the dependability specification process to address functions as a prerequisite for system design. BS EN 62347 complements IEC 60300-3-4 in specification of dependability requirements for products and equipment. BS EN 62347 provides users the trust, dependability, and security required in the working of a system.
