Description (English):

IEC 60300-3-1:2003 gives a general overview of commonly used dependability analysis techniques. It describes the usual methodologies, their advantages and disadvantages, data input and other conditions for using various techniques. This standard is an introduction to selected methodologies and is intended to provide the necessary information for choosing the most appropriate analysis methods. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1991, and constitutes a full technical revision. In particular, the guidance on the selection of analysis techniques and the number of analysis techniques covered has been extended. This bilingual version (2013-02) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2003-01. Keywords: dependability analysis techniques

Abstract

Overview

IEC 60300-3-1:2003 - Dependability management - Part 3‑1: Application guide - Analysis techniques for dependability - Guide on methodology - provides a concise, practical introduction to commonly used dependability analysis techniques. The second edition (2003) is a full technical revision of the 1991 edition and expands guidance on selecting appropriate analysis methods. A bilingual consolidated version (2013) corresponds to the 2003 English edition. The standard helps practitioners choose, apply and combine qualitative and quantitative methods to predict, review and improve reliability, availability and maintainability.

Key topics

General methodology and procedure for dependability analysis, including system definition, dependability requirements/goals, allocation of requirements, analysis, review and recommendations.
Overview of analysis techniques (qualitative and quantitative), their typical use cases, advantages and limitations, and required data inputs.
- Qualitative techniques: functional analysis, fault identification, failure modes, effects and diagnostics (e.g., FMEA), HAZOP and human factors considerations.
- Quantitative techniques: reliability/availability modelling (e.g., Reliability Block Diagrams, Markov models), numerical evaluation, sensitivity and criticality analyses.
Dependability allocation - apportioning system-level reliability and availability goals to sub-systems and components during design.
Maintenance and repair analysis - influence of maintenance strategies on dependability and life‑cycle cost estimation.
Emphasis on including hardware, software, human and organizational factors when performing analyses.

Practical applications

Early design and concept evaluation to allocate dependability targets and identify critical components or failure modes.
Detailed design validation and trade-off studies (redundancy, diagnostics, maintainability).
Operation and maintenance planning: estimating maintenance frequency, spare parts needs, and life‑cycle costs.
Safety and operational risk assessments where reliability modelling and fault/failure path analysis inform mitigation strategies.
Preparing dependability specifications and verifying whether designs meet stated requirements.

Who should use this standard

Systems and reliability engineers
Maintenance planners and logistics managers
Safety and assurance teams
Product designers and systems architects
Project managers responsible for life‑cycle cost and availability targets
