IEEE 1332-1998 pdf download IEEE Standard Reliability Program for the Development and Production of Electronic Systems and Equipment
1. Overview
1.1 Scope This reliability program standard encourages suppliers and customers to cooperatively integrate their reliability processes. These requirements are written to properly establish the contractual or obligatory relationship between the supplier and customer cooperating together in a product program. Neither the standard nor the customer specifies the tasks to be performed; the supplier is free to use innovative means to develop the product.
1.2 Purpose
This standard guides suppliers in planning a program that suits their design philosophy, the product concept, and the resources at their disposal, so that every activity adds value. The overall objective is to provide products that satisfy the customer. The customer’s requirements and product needs are expressed in the form of the following three reliability objectives:
a) The supplier shall determine the customer’s requirements and product needs. The supplier, working with the customer, shall include the activities necessary to ensure that the customer’s requirements and product needs are fully understood and defined, so that a comprehensive design specification can be generated.
b) The supplier shall meet the customer’s requirements and product needs. The supplier shall structure and follow a series of engineering activities so that the resulting product satisfies the customer’s requirements and product needs with regard to product reliability.
c) The supplier shall adequately verify that the customer’s requirements and product needs are met. The supplier shall include activities that assure the customer that the reliability requirements and product needs have been satisfied.
2. Definitions
Terms used in this standard can be found in the IEC Multilingual Dictionary of Electricity, Electronics, and Telecommunications.
3. Supplier’s program This clause describes those requirements that shall be met in creating a reliability program. The requirements of this clause are general in nature so as to be applicable to a broad range of programs and products. The supplier shall create and implement a reliability program to accomplish the three objectives listed in 1.2. The supplier shall show that this program is integrated into the product management program. The plan shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
Description of the activities
Duration of the activitiesSequence of the activities indicating those that are criticalResource allocation (including planned customer-provided resources such as, but not limited to, provinggrounds and test facilities)
Program milestones (including interfaces with program management)
4. The first objective—Determining the requirements of the customer The purpose of the first objective of reliable product development is to organize a dialogue between customer and supplier, which establishes required product characteristics and ensures that product use is fully understood. Assumptions made by the supplier regarding the storage, transport, handling, life cycle, environment, and use of the product shall reflect the extrema of the design space or actual worst-case conditions associated with a specified statistical likelihood. Both the customer and the supplier must realize the implication, in design terms, of how accurate and complete information about these conditions affects the delivery of a satisfactory and reliable product.
