scope:
This International Standard describes:
• the requirements to apply when reliability block diagrams (RBDs) are used in dependability analysis;
• the procedures for modelling the dependability of a system with reliability block diagrams;
• how to use RBDs for qualitative and quantitative analysis;
• the procedures for using the RBD model to calculate availability, failure frequency and reliability measures for different types of systems with constant (or time dependent) probabilities of blocks success/failure, and for non-repaired blocks or repaired blocks;
• some theoretical aspects and limitations in performing calculations for availability, failure frequency and reliability measures;
• the relationships with fault tree analysis (see IEC 61025 [1]) and Markov techniques (see IEC 61165 [2]).
