This standard provides the basis for developing the performance-based Fault Tree Analysis(FTA) to review and anlytically examine a system or equipment in such a way as to empahsize the lower-level fault occurrences the directly or indirectly contribute to the system-level fault or undesired event. The requirements for contractors, the planning and reporting needs, along with the analytical tools are established. The linkage of this Standard to the other standards in the new family of performance-based Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) standards is described, and a large number of keyword data element descriptions (DED) for use in automating the FTA process are p.
