Dependability management - Part 3-11: Application guide - Reliability centred maintenance (IEC 60300-3-11:2009)

This part of IEC 60300 provides guidelines for the development of failure management policies for equipment and structures using reliability centred maintenance (RCM) analysis techniques. This part serves as an application guide and is an extension of IEC 60300-3-10, IEC 60300-3-12 and IEC 60300-3-14. Maintenance activities recommended in all three standards, which relate to preventive maintenance, may be implemented using this standard. The RCM method can be applied to items such as ground vehicles, ships, power plants, aircraft, and other systems which are made up of equipment and structure, e.g. a building, airframe or ship's hull. Typically, equipment comprises a number of electrical, mechanical, instrumentation or control systems and subsystems which can be further broken down into progressively smaller groupings, as required. This standard is restricted to the application of RCM techniques and does not include aspects of maintenance support, which are covered by the above-mentioned standards or other dependability and safety standards.

Gestion de la sûreté de fonctionnement - Partie 3-11: Guide d'application - Maintenance basée sur la fiabilité (CEI 60300-3-11:2009)

La CEI 60300-3-11:2009 fournit des lignes directrices permettant l'élaboration d'une politique de gestion des défaillances pour des équipements et des structures, fondée sur une analyse de maintenance basée sur la fiabilité (MBF). Cette partie sert comme guide d'application et est un prolongement des CEI 60300-3-10, CEI 60300-3-12 et CEI 60300-3-14. Les activités de maintenance recommandées dans les trois normes et qui se rapportent à la maintenance préventive peuvent être mises en oeuvre en utilisant la présente norme. L'édition précédente était basée sur l'ATA1-MG-3; tandis que la présente édition est applicable à toutes les industries et elle définit un algorithme révisé du MBF et une méthode pour le processus d'analyse.

Upravljanje zagotovljivosti - 3-11. del: Navodilo za uporabo - Vzdrževanje s poudarkom na zanesljivosti (IEC 60300-3-11:2009)

Ta del IEC 60300 podaja smernice za razvoj politik upravljanja z napakami za opremo in konstrukcije z uporabo analiznih tehnik vzdrževanja s poudarkom na zanesljivost (RCM). Ta del služi kot vodilo za uporabo in je dodatek k IEC 60300-3-10, IEC 60300-3-12 in 60300-3-14. Vzdrževalne dejavnosti, ki so priporočene v vseh treh standardih, ki se nanašajo na preventivno vzdrževanje, se lahko izvedejo tako, da se uporabi ta standard. RCM metoda lahko velja za predmete, kot so cestna vozila, ladje, elektrarne, zrakoplovi in ostali sistemi, ki so narejeni iz opreme in konstrukcije, npr. zgradba, ogrodje zrakoplova ali ladijski trup. Običajno je oprema sestavljena iz številnih električnih, mehaničnih, instrumentnih ali nadzornih sistemov in podsistemov, ki se lahko po potrebi nadalje postopoma razdelijo na manjše skupine. Ta standard je omejen na uporabo RCM tehnik in ne vključuje vidikov glede podpore vzdrževanju, ki so zajeti v zgoraj navedenih standardih ali drugih standardih o zagotovljivosti in varnosti.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity 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 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 60300-3-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56:
Dependability.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1999, and constitutes a
technical revision.

INTRODUCTION
Reliability centred maintenance (RCM) is a method to identify and select failure management
policies to efficiently and effectively achieve the required safety, availability and economy of
operation. Failure management policies can include maintenance activities, operational
changes, design modifications or other actions in order to mitigate the consequences of failure.
RCM was initially developed for the commercial aviation industry in the late 1960s, resulting in
2
the publication of ATA-MGS-3 [1] . RCM is now a proven and accepted methodology used in a
wide range of industries.
RCM provides a decision process to identify applicable and effective preventive maintenance
requirements, or management actions, for equipment in accordance with the safety,
operational and economic consequences of identifiable failures, and the degradation
mechanism responsible for those failures. The end result of working through the process is a
judgement as to the necessity of performing a maintenance task, design change or other
alternatives to effect improvements.
The basic steps of an RCM programme are as follows:
a) initiation and planning;
b) functional failure analysis;
c) task selection;
d) implementation;
e) continuous improvement.
All tasks are based on safety in respect of personnel and environment, and on operational or
economic concerns. However, it should be noted that the criteria considered will depend on the
nature of the product and its application. For example, a production process will be required to
be economically viable, and may be sensitive to strict environmental considerations, whereas
an item of defence equipment should be operationally successful, but may have less stringent
safety, economic and environmental criteria.
Maximum benefit can be obtained from an RCM analysis if it is conducted at the design stage,
so that feedback from the analysis can influence design. However, RCM is also worthwhile
during the operation and maintenance phase to improve existing maintenance tasks, make
necessary modifications or other alternatives.
Successful application of RCM requires a good understanding of the equipment and structure,
as well as the operational environment, operating context and the associated systems, together
with the possible failures and their consequences. Greatest benefit can be achieved through
targeting of the analysis to where failures would have serious safety, environmental, economic
or operational effects.

DEPENDABILITY MANAGEMENT –

Part 3-11: Application guide –
Reliability centred maintenance



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60300 provides guidelines for the development of failure management policies
for equipment and structures using reliability centred maintenance (RCM) analysis techniques.
This part serves as an application guide and is an extension of IEC 60300-3-10, IEC 60300-3-
12 and IEC 60300-3-14. Maintenance activities recommended in all three standards, which
relate to preventive maintenance, may be implemented using this standard.
The RCM method can be applied to items such as ground vehicles, ships, power plants,
aircraft, and other systems which are made up of equipment and structure, e.g. a building,
airframe or ship's hull. Typically, equipment comprises a number of electrical, mechanical,
instrumentation or control systems and subsystems which can be further broken down into
progressively smaller groupings, as required.
This standard is restricted to the application of RCM techniques and does not include aspects
of maintenance support, which are covered by the above-mentioned standards or other
dependability and safety standards.

NOTE The evaluation assesses the item's resistance to a deterioration process with respect to increasing age or
usage.
3.1.2
criticality
severity of effect of a deviation from the specified function of an item, with respect to specified
evaluation criteria
NOTE 1 The extent of effects considered may be limited to the item itself, to the system of which it is a part, or
range beyond the system boundary.
NOTE 2 The deviation may be a fault, a failure, a degradation, an excess temperature, an excess pressure, etc.
NOTE 3 In some applications, the evaluation of criticality may include other factors such as the probability of
occurrence of the deviation, or the probability of detection.
3.1.3
damage-tolerant
capable of sustaining damage and continuing to function as required, possibly at reduced
loading or capacity
3.1.4
failure (of an item)
loss of ability to perform as required
