28、) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrica
29、l and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technica
30、l committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organizat
31、ion for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical com
32、mittee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications
33、is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and
34、 regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in con
35、formity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for
36、any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Norma
37、tive references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held respon
38、sible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62429 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56: Dependability. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 56/1232/FDIS 56/1249/RVD Full information on the voting for the a
39、pproval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date ind
40、icated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be BS EN 62429:200862429 IEC:2007 5 reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. BS EN 62429:2008 6 62429 IEC:2007 RELIABILITY GROWTH STR
41、ESS TESTING FOR EARLY FAILURES IN UNIQUE COMPLEX SYSTEMS 1 Scope This International Standard gives guidance for reliability growth during final testing or acceptance testing of unique complex systems. It gives guidance on accelerated test conditions and criteria for stopping these tests. “Unique” me
42、ans that no information exists on similar systems, and the small number of produced systems means that information deducted from the test has limited use for future production. This standard concerns reliability growth of repairable complex systems consisting of hardware with embedded software. It c
43、an be used for describing the procedure for acceptance testing, “running-in“, and to ensure that reliability of a delivered system is not compromised by coding errors, workmanship errors or manufacturing errors. It only covers the early failure period of the system life cycle and neither the constan
44、t failure period, nor the wear out failure period. It can also be used when a company wants to optimize the duration of internal production testing during manufacturing of prototypes, single systems or small series. It is applicable mainly to large hardware/software systems, but does not cover large
45、 networks, for example telecommunications and power networks, since new parts of such systems cannot usually be isolated during the testing. It does not cover software tested alone, but the methods can be used during testing of large embedded software programs in operational hardware, when simulated
46、 operating loads are used. It addresses growth testing before or at delivery of a finished system. The testing can therefore take place at the manufacturers or at the end users premises. If the user of a system performs reliability growth by a policy of updating hardware and software with improved v
47、ersions, this standard can be used to guide the growth process. This standard covers a wide field of applications, but is not applicable to health or safety aspects of systems. This standard does not apply to systems that are covered by IEC 6227939. 2 Normative references The following referenced do
