IEC 60812:2018

The standard describes FMEA and Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and gives guidance as to how they may be applied to achieve various objectives by providing the procedural steps necessary to perform an analysis; identifying appropriate terms, assumptions, criticality measures, failure modes; defining basic principles; and providing examples of necessary worksheets or other tabular forms. All the general qualitative considerations presented for FMEA will apply to FMECA, as latter is an extension of the other.
