Reliability Prediction Procedure for Electronic Equipment
Document Number SR-332
Issue Number 04
Issue Date Mar 2016
ORDERING INFORMATION
ABSTRACT: Reliability prediction is an important element in the process of designing or selecting equipment. These predictions provide
necessary input to system-level reliability models for predicting expected downtime per year and system availability. Issue 4 of SR-332
provides all the tools needed for predicting device and unit hardware reliability, and contains important revisions since the document
was last issued.
The Telcordia Reliability Prediction Procedure has a long and distinguished history of use within and outside the
telecommunications industry. Issue 4 of SR-332 provides the only hardware reliability prediction procedure developed from the input and
participation of a cross-section of major industrial companies. This lends the procedure and the predictions derived from it a high
level of credibility free from the bias of any individual supplier or service provider.
Issue 4 of SR-332 contains:
- Recommended methods for predicting device and unit hardware reliability. These techniques estimate the mean failure rate in
FITs for electronic equipment. This procedure also documents a recommended method for predicting serial system hardware
reliability.
- Tables needed to facilitate the calculation of reliability predictions.
- Revised generic device failure rates in Section 8, based mainly on new data for many components.
- An extended range of complexity for devices, and the addition of new devices.
- Revised environmental factors in Section 9 based on field data and experience.
- Clarification and guidance on items raised by forum participants and by frequently asked questions from users.
