scope:

This part of ISO 13381 provides guidance for the development and application of prognosis processes. It is intended to: - allow the developers, providers, users and manufacturers to share common concepts of prognostics; - enable users to determine the data, characteristics, processes and behaviours necessary for accurate prognosis; - outline appropriate approaches and processes to prognostics development; - introduce prognostics concepts in order to facilitate future systems and training. Other parts will include the introduction of concepts of the following forms of prognostic approaches: performance changes (trending) approaches (part 2), cyclic-driven life usage techniques (part 3), and useful life remaining models (part 4)
