There are 28 attributes to look for:
- 16 mandatory (end customers focus on these),
- 5 highly recommended, and
- 7 desirable.
We teach these at our:
- 2-day Hands-On Fault Tree Analysis course (famous, very professional),
- System Safety course,
- MIL-STD-882E System Safety course, and
- Aviation System Safety course.
For those of you who have not attended these courses, we strongly recommend the purchase of this checklist.
Your customer may be using this as their checklist on your submissions.
This list has been acquired by lots of people including:
- FAA,
- FDA,
- FRA (said to be useful by them and shared with their team),
- DOD (Army, Air Force, Navy),
- NASA,
- Ministry of Defence (U.K.),
- prime contractors (e.g., from U.S., Canada, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland),
- subcontractors, and
- auditors.

"Excellent criteria" - Lockheed Martin Representative.
"Nice checklist" - General Dynamics Mission Systems Representative.
"Very good information which I’ll add to my “tools” for safety analysis" - WABTEC Representative.
