AS IEC 60812:2008 outlines the processes of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), offering guidance on their application to meet various objectives by:
- detailing the procedural steps required to conduct an analysis;
- identifying relevant terms, assumptions, criticality measures, and failure modes;
- establishing fundamental principles;
- providing examples of necessary worksheets or other tabular formats.
All general qualitative considerations applicable to FMEA will also pertain to FMECA, as the latter is essentially an extension of the former.
