EVS-EN 62308:2007

This International Standard describes early reliability assessment methods for items based on field data and test data for components and modules. It is applicable to mission, safety and business critical, high integrity and complex items. It contains information on why early reliability estimates are required and how and where the assessment would be used. Finally, it details methods for reliability assessment and the data required to support the assessment. To estimate durability (life time or wear-out), the physics-of-failure method is used.
