The object of the IEC is to promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-gov- ernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with. 3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, tech- nical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. International Standard IEC 1165 has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee No. 56: Dependability. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indi- cated in the above table. Annexes A, B and C are for information only. 1 Copyright American Society for Quality Provided by IHS under license with ASQ Licensee=IHS Employees/1111111001, User=Wing, Bernie Not for Resale, 04/18/2007 09:49:34 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- ANSIA EC/ASQ D61165-1997 Introduction Several distinct analytical methods of dependability analysis are available, of which Markov analysis is one. IEC 60300-3-1 gives an overview of available methods and their general characteristics. The relative merits of various methods and their individual or combined applicability in evaluating the dependability of a given system or component, should be examined by the analyst prior to deciding on the use of Markov analysis. For each method, consideration should also be given to the results pro- duced, the data required to perform the analysis, the complexity of analysis, and other identified factors. 2 Copyright American Society for Quality Provided by IHS under license with ASQ Licensee=IHS Employees/1111111001, User=Wing, Bernie Not for Resale, 04/18/2007 09:49:34 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- ANSI/IEC/ASQ 061165-1997 Application of Markov Techniques 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidance on the application of Markov techniques to dependability analysis. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

In addition, the following terms and definitions are used: 3.1 unit: A component or set of components, which function as a single entity. NOTE-AS such, the unit can exist in only two states: functional or failed (see 3.3 and 3.4). For convenience, the term unit state will be used to denote the state of a unit. 3.2 system state: A system state is a particular combination of unit states. NOTE-Several system states may be combined into one state. 3.3 functional state: A system (or unit) state in which the system (or unit) performs the required function. 3.4 failed state: A system (or unit) state in which the system (or unit) does not perform the required function. NOTE-A system can have several distinguishable failed states. 3.5 transition: A change from one state to another, usually as a result of failure or restoration. NOTE-A transition may be also caused by other events such as human errors, external events, reconfiguration of software, etc. 3.6 transition probability: The probability of transition between one state and another state. 3 Copyright American Society for Quality Provided by IHS under license with ASQ Licensee=IHS Employees/1111111001, User=Wing, Bernie Not for Resale, 04/18/2007 09:49:34 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- STD.ASQ DbIILb5-ENGL II797 0 7 5 9 5 0 b 0002328 8bb ANSIA EC/ASQ D61165-1997 3.7 initial state: The system state at time t = O. NOTE-Following a system failure, the system may be restored to the initial state. Generally, a system starts its operation at t = O from the complete functional state in which all units of the system are functioning and transits towards the final system state, which is a failed state, via other system functional states having progressively fewer functioning units. 3.8 absorbing state: A state from which, once entered, transitions are not possible. NOTE-Once in an absorbing state, the system will stay there until in effect it is replaced, in its entirety, by a fully functional system. 3.9 restorable system: A system containing units which can fail and then be restored to their func- tional state, without necessarily causing system failure. NOTES 1 This corresponds to transitions in the state diagram in the direction towards the initial state. For this to be possible, the units concerned will invariably operate in redundant configurations. 2 For a restorable system, dependability measures such as reliability, MTTFF, and availability are calculated 3.1 O non-restorable system: A system, the state transition diagram of which contains only transitions in the direction towards the final system failure state. NOTE-For a non-restorable system, reliability measures such as reliability and MTF are calculated 4 Symbols and abbreviations 4.1 Symbols for state-transition diagrams 4.1.1 state symbol: A state is represented by a circle or a rectangle. 4.1.2 state description: The state description is placed inside the state symbol and may take the form of words or alphanumeric characters defining those combinations of failed and functioning units which characterize the state. 4.1.3 state label: A state label is a number in a circle, placed adjacent to the state symbol, or in the absence of a state description, within the symbol itself. NOTE-The state can often be adequately represented by a circle with the state number. 4.1.4 transition arrow: The transition arrow indicates the direction of a transition (as a result of failure or restoration). 4.1.5 rates: Restoration rates and/or failure rates are written on the transition arrow. 4.2 Other symbols and abbreviations Symbols for dependability measures follow those of IEC 50(191), where available.

Usually how- ever, terms like h(t)At are replaced simply by h. The reason for this is that in this standard h(t) is constant with respect to time (see clause 6) and transition arrows are, by convention, labeled using transition rates rather than transition probabilities. Hence the diagram in figure 1 is frequently drawn in the form shown in figure 2. Figure 2-State-transition diagram (simp
