This part of IEC 63164 provides guidance on the assurance of reliability data of automation devices. If the source of this data is calculation, guidance is given on how to specify the methods used for this calculation. If the source is from observation of devices in the field, guidance is given on how to describe these observations and their evaluations. If the source is the outcome of laboratory tests, guidance is given on how to specify these tests and the conditions under which they have been carried out.

This document defines the form to present the data.Cross References:IEC 61649:2008IEC 60300-3-5:2001IEC 60300-3-2:2004IEC TR 63164-2IEC/CD 63082-1SN 29500-4IEC 61508 (all parts)SN 29500-3IEC 61710IEC 60706-5IEC 61709:2017IEC 62061:2005/AMD1:2012IEC 61508-4:2010IEC 60605-4:2001ISO 13849-1:2015IEC 60050-192:2015IEC 61078:2016IEC 62506:2013IEC 60947-1:2007IEC 61124:2012IEC 60947-1:2007/AMD1:2010IEC 60605-6:2007IEC 61025:2006IEC 60947-5-3:2013IEC 62061:2005/AMD2:2015IEC 61810-2:2017IEC TR 62380:2004IEC 60947-1:2007/AMD2:2014IEC 61703:2016IEC 60050-192:2015/AMD1:2016IEC 62061:2005
