IEEE 1413-2026

This standard provides the framework for performing and reporting reliability predictions. It applies to hardware products including electronic, electrical, and mechanical devices and assemblies.

The purpose of this standard is to identify the required elements for an understandable and useful reliability prediction. A reliability prediction made according to this standard shall have sufficient information concerning inputs, assumptions, and uncertainty so the risk associated with using the prediction results can be understood.

Revision Standard - Active. This standard covers The framework for the reliability prediction for electronic hardware is covered in this standard. The required elements for an understandable and credible reliability prediction with information to evaluate the prediction results and to assess their usability for the intended application are identified. A reliability prediction generated according to this standard would have sufficient information concerning inputs, assumptions, data sources, methodologies, and uncertainties so that the risk associated with using the prediction results can be considered. This document does not provide instructions for how to perform a reliability prediction and does not make recommendations about the use of a specific methodology.
