IEEE 1332-1998

This project will develop for electronic products and systems a standard set of reliability-program objectives which can be used to express reliability requirements when a customer is contracting with a producer for electronic products. The purpose of this standard is to establish a standard set of objectives which provide an effective structure for the life-cycle activities needed in order to design, manufacture and utilize reliable products and systems. These objectives provide a flexible structuring of the relationship between customers selected specific reliability tasks for producers to perform without regard to an integrated set of objectives the tasks were to achieve. New IEEE Standard - Superseded. " Guidance for providing products that satisfy the customer is given. This standard guidessuppliers in planning a program that suits their design philosophy, the product concept, and the resourcesat their disposal, so that every activity adds value. This standard encourages suppliers and customers tocooperatively integrate their reliability processes. Requirements are written to properly establish thecontractual or obligatory relationship between the supplier and customer in a product program. "
