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,
- System Safety course, and
- MIL-STD-882E 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 people (thus far 230) from:
- FAA,
- FDA,
- FRA (said to be useful by them and shared with their team),
- DOD,
- NASA,
- Ministry of Defence (U.K.),
- prime contractors,
- subcontractors, and
- auditors.
"Your Fault Tree Analysis Acceptance/Rejection Criteria provided us a convenient set of guidelines to use when reviewing submissions" - FAA Representative.
"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.
Throughout our history we have seen absolutely horrible FTAs. Unfortunately, many of these are accepted due to the client's lack of experience.
It is common for these people to simply not have the time, resources or design insight to review fault trees in detail.
