Detection
Certainty
1
Safety or environmental impact is insignificant; customer will
not notice any adverse effects
Likelihood of occurrence is
remote 1,000,000 > 1.67
Sure that the potential failure will be found
or prevented before producing a safety
risk
100%
2
Safety or environmental impact is slight; customer will
probably experience slight annoyance
Low failure rate with supporting
documentation 20,000 1.33
Almost certain that the potential failure will
be found or prevented before producing a
safety risk
99%
3
Safety and/or environmental impact will be affected due to
the slight degradation of performance of components;
customer will experience annoyance
Low failure rate without
supporting documentation 5,000 approx. 1.0
Low likelihood that the potential failure will
be prevented before producing a safety
risk
95
4
Safety and/or environmental impact affected due to
continually poor system performance; customer dissatisfied
Occasional failures
2,000 < 1.0
Controls may detect or prevent the
potential failure from occuring during
operation
90
5
Considerable safety and/or environmental Impact due to
failure of components; customer is made uncomfortable
Relatively moderate failure
rate with supporting
documentation
500
Moderate likelihood that the potential
failure will occur before producing a safety
risk
85
6
Considerable safety and/or environmental Impact due to
continued degredation of components; warranty repair, down
time or significant manufacturing or assembly complaint
Moderate failure rate without
supporting documentation
100
Controls are unlikely to detect or prevent
the potential failure during operation
80
7
High safety risk and/or severe environmental Impact without
violating existing codes/standards; High degree of customer
dissatisfaction; productivity impacted by high scrap or
rework levels.
Relatively high failure rate with
supporting documentation

of safety codes/regulations; customer endangered
Failure is almost certain based
on specifications or significant

Current controls probably will not even
detect the potential failure
