International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 192: Dependability
IEC 60050-192:2015 gives the general terminology used in the field of dependability. The terms are generic and are applicable to all fields of dependability methodology, including electrotechnical applications. The document is not an exhaustive vocabulary for all IEC standards in the dependability field: definitions for some specialized terms may only be found in the relevant standards. This document replaces sections 1 to 20 of IEC 60050-191:1990, which has been subjected to a systematic, in-depth review and revision, in order to reflect the current usage of the terms in the dependability field, to introduce new terms from new or revised standards, and other informed sources, and to provide a grammatical form, and presentation to comply with the IEC directives. This terminology is consistent with the terminology developed in the other specialized parts of the IEV.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
Vocabulaire Electrotechnique International (IEV) - Partie 192: Sûreté de fonctionnement
IEC 60050-192:2015 donne la terminologie générale utilisée dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement. Il s'agit de termes génériques applicables à tous les domaines de la sûreté de fonctionnement, y compris les applications électrotechniques. Le document n'est pas un vocabulaire exhaustif de toutes les normes IEC dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement: les définitions de certains termes spécifiques se trouvent uniquement dans les normes correspondantes. Le présent document remplace les sections 1 à 20 de l'IEC 60050-191:1990, qui a fait l'objet d un examen et d'une révision systématiques en profondeur, afin de refléter l'usage courant dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement, d'introduire de nouveaux termes provenant de normes nouvelles ou révisées, et d'autres sources d'informations, et de présenter une forme grammaticale et une présentation conformes aux directives de l'IEC. Cette terminologie est en accord avec la terminologie figurant dans les autres parties spécialisées de l'IEV.
Elle a le statut de norme horizontale conformément au Guide IEC 108.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL VOCABULARY –
Part 192: Dependability
FOREWORD
1) 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 electrical 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 technical 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 Organization 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 committee 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 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 regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 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 Normative 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 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60050-192 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56:
Dependability, under the responsibility of IEC technical committee 1: Terminology.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60050-191:1990, sections 191-
01 to 191-20, IEC 60050-191:1990/AMD1:1999, entries in sections 191-01 to 191-20 and
IEC 60050-191:1990/AMD2:2002. It constitutes a technical revision. It has the status of a
horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
This part of IEC 60050 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the
IEC 60050-191:
a) inclusion of terms more commonly used by practitioners;
b) provision of figures to help explain definitions of time-related concepts.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
1/2254/FDIS 1/2256/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval 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.
In this part of the IEV, the terms and definitions are provided in French and English; in
addition the terms are given in Arabic (ar), Czech (cs), German (de), Spanish (es), Japanese
(ja), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt) and Chinese (zh).
A list of all parts of the IEC 60050 series, published under the general title International
Electrotechnical Vocabulary, can be found on the IEC website and is available
at www.electropedia.org.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to
the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l’IEC). L’IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. A cet effet, l’IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l’IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’IEC, participent
