Dependability assurance addresses the reliability performance and maintainability performance of the product as well as the performance of the ‘maintenance support provided by the customer (and/or the supplier). It is a responsibility to be shared by the supplier and the customer. Society’s increasing reliance upon services such as transportation, electricity, telecommunication and information services leads to higher user requirements and expectations with regard to quality of service. The dependability of products used for such services is a major contributing factor to their quality of service. Searcity of resources, safety and environmental concerns, inerease in product complexity, together with mounting interest in the life-cycle cost of products also emphasize the need for assurance of dependability as well as ofits elements. Experience shows that the maintenance cost may well exceed the original acquisition cost. Many products are developed with the intention to satisfy users’ needs or requirements as expressed in specifications. Such requirements normally concern reliability performance and maintainability performance, and, sometimes, availability performance under stated conditions of maintenance support. The customer is often solely responsible for operation and maintenance. Some products are sold or leased with agreements or guarantees for measures of dependability characteristics, with or without maintenance support from the supplier. For other products, the specification of dependability may be a part of the process of designing or maintaining the product. ‘The existence of an effective dependability programme is in the interest of both the customer and the supplier, for relevant life-cycle phases, 1 Scope This part of IEC 300/180 9000 provides guidance on dependability programme management. It covers the essential features of a comprehensive dependability programme for the planning, organization, direction and control of resources to produce products which will be reliable and maintainable. In management terms, it is concerned with what has to be done, and why, and when and how it has to be done, but itis not specifie about who should do it and where, because organizations and projects vary widely. This part of IEC 300/180 9000 is applicable to hardware and/or software products, where dependability characteristics are significant during the operation and maintenance phase. The requirements are aimed primarily at controlling influences on dependability at all product life-cycle phases from product planning to operation, Any agreement using the guidance given in this part of IEC 300/180 9000 may use selected parts to fit, particular circumstances. The parties involved shall, agree upon and record the extent to which it is applied, including the guidance given in other parts of the IRC 300 series. Any selected clauses used in this way become requirements. {OTE 1 ‘Tho guidance given inthis part of BC B0OMSO 8090 primarily applic a nspplier with a ftnall numberof quale customers but tan alo be applied to NOTE?
