What is BS EN 62506 - Methods for product accelerated testing about?
BS EN 62506 provides guidance on the application of various accelerated test techniques for measurement or improvement of product reliability. Identification of potential failure modes that could be experienced in the use of a product/item and their mitigation is instrumental to ensure the dependability of an item.
BS EN 62506 addresses accelerated testing of non-repairable and repairable systems.
BS EN 62506 also extends to present accelerated testing or production screening methods that would identify weaknesses introduced into the product by manufacturing error, which could compromise product dependability.
Note: BS EN 62506 should be used in conjunction with statistical test plan standards such as IEC 61123, IEC 61124, IEC 61649 and IEC 61710.
Who is BS EN 62506 - Methods for product accelerated testing for?
BS EN 62506 on methods for product accelerated testing is useful for:
- Manufacturing companies
- Quality control personnel
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 62506 - Methods for product accelerated testing?
Many reliability or failure investigation test methods have been developed and most of them are currently in use. Such tests, although very useful, are usually lengthy, especially when the product reliability that has to be demonstrated was high. The reduction in time-to-market periods as well as competitive product cost, increase the need for efficient and effective accelerated testing.
In BS EN 62506, the tests are shortened through the application of increased stress levels or by increasing the speed of application of repetitive stresses, thus facilitating a quicker assessment and growth of product reliability through failure mode discovery and mitigation.
The methods described in BS EN 62506 help you to either identify potential design weaknesses or provide information on item dependability, or to achieve necessary reliability/availability improvement, all within a compressed or accelerated period of time.
Overall, the guidelines of BS EN 62506 enable you to carry out product testing procedures faster and help you to save time and money involved in the process.
