Abstract

Besides quantitative reliability requirements (figures), such as MTBF, MTTR, or availability, as given in system specifications, customers often require a quality assurance/management system, and for complex items also the realization of a quality and reliability assurance program. Such general requirements are covered by standards, the most important of which are discussed in this appendix. A basic procedure for setting up and realizing quality and reliability requirements as well as the structure and content of a quality and reliability assurance program for complex equipment and systems are considered in Appendix A3.
