Foreword
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009. This Standard uses the translation method to equivalently adopt IEC 62506:2013 “Methods for product accelerated testing”.
The documents of our country that have a consistent correspondence with the international documents that are referenced in this Standard are as follows: -- GB/T 5080.1-2012, Reliability testing - Part 1: Test conditions and statistical test principles (IEC 60300-3-5:2001, IDT)
This Standard, compared with IEC 62506:2013, makes the following editorial changes: -- “a minimum 30 000 h per year” in the original text 5.2.3.1.3 is wrong; it shall be “a minimum 3 000 h per year”;
-- “as the time compression may influence the stress acceleration” in the original text 5.2.3.2.1 is wrong; it shall be “as the event compression may influence the stress acceleration”;
-- “Equation (3) presents a rather accurate way of expressing the overall item failure rate with applied stresses” in the original text 5.5 is wrong; it shall be “Equation (4) presents a rather accurate way of expressing the overall item failure rate with applied stresses";
-- “n1/N1”, “l1/L1” and “αi is the time at the ith stress level” in the original text 5.6.3.2 are wrong; they shall be “ni/Ni”, “li/Li” and “αi is the ratio of the time at the ith stress level to the life under applied loads”;
-- S in equation (B.22) in the original Annex B shall be NS;
-- “One in this group failed after 700 cycles and 10 after 1000 cycles.” and “In this second test group B, 4 failed after 300 cycles, 10 after 400 cycles, and additional 5 after 500 cycles” in Annex F of the original text are wrong; they shall be “One in this group failed after 700 cycles and 3 after 1 000 cycles.” and “In this second test group B, 5 failed after 300 cycles, 10 after 400 cycles, and additional 5 after 500 cycles.”;
-- “265V” in Figure G.1 of Annex G of the original text is wrong; it shall be “25V”; the curve fitting equation, equation (G.1) and equation (G.2) in Figure G.2 are wrong and corrected.
This Standard was proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China.
Methods for product accelerated testing
1 Scope
This standard provides guidance on the application of various accelerated test techniques for measurement or improvement of product reliability. Identification of potential failure modes that could be experienced in the use of a product/item and their mitigation is instrumental to ensure dependability of an item.
The object of the methods is to either identify potential design weakness or provide information on item dependability, or to achieve necessary reliability/availability improvement, all within a compressed or accelerated period of time. This standard addresses accelerated testing of non-repairable and repairable systems. It can be used for probability ratio sequential tests, fixed duration tests and reliability improvement/growth tests, where the measure of reliability may differ from the standard probability of failure occurrence.
This standard also extends to present accelerated testing or production screening methods that would identify weakness introduced into the product by manufacturing error, which could compromise product dependability.
