DIN EN 60300-3-11:2010-05

This part of the IEC 60300 standard series provides guidelines for the development of failure management policies for equipment and structures using reliability centred maintenance (RCM) analysis techniques. The standard serves as an application guide and is an extension of DIN EN 60300-3-10, DIN EN 60300-3-12 and DIN EN 60300-3-14. Maintenance activities recommended in the three standards, which relate to preventive maintenance, may be implemented using this standard. The RCM analysis can be applied to items such as ground vehicles, ships, power plants, aircraft, and other systems which are made up of equipment and structures, for instance 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. These aspects are covered by the above-mentioned standards or other dependability and safety standards. At DIN and VDE the responsible Committee is K 132 "Zuverlässigkeit" ("Dependability") of DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies).
