What is BS IEC 60605-6 – Equipment reliability testing about?

BS IEC 60605-6 is the sixth part of the IEC 60605 series that discusses equipment reliability testing. The techniques given in BS IEC 60605-6 for testing constant failure rate or constant failure intensity assumptions are numerical and graphical procedures. BS IEC 60605-6 specifies procedures to verify the assumption of a constant failure rate or constant failure intensity, as defined in (191) , and to identify patterns in the failure rate or intensity. These procedures are applicable whenever it is necessary to verify such assumptions. This may be due to a requirement or for the purpose of assessing any variation with time of the failure rate or failure intensity.
