7.  Other industries

Medical equipment:

ISO 14971 : Risk management requirements for reliability.

IEC 60601 : Safety and Reliability of Medical Electrical Equipment.

Energy (Photovoltaic):

IEC 61215 : Photovoltaic module reliability testing.

8.  General Methods for Reliability Testing

Accelerated Life Testing:

Arrhenius Model (high-temperature acceleration), Coffin-Manson Model (thermal cycling acceleration).

MTBF/MTTF Calculation: Reference IEC 61709 or MIL-HDBK-217 (Historical reference).

Failure analysis: Follows IEC 60300 (Reliability Management Series Standards).

Considerations for Selecting Standards

Industry Alignment: Prioritize industry-specific standards (e.g., for automotive applications) AEC-Q , for military use MIL-STD ).

Regional requirements: Exported products must comply with the regulations of the target market (e.g., the European Union). CE , United States FCC ).

Product lifecycle stage: During the R&D phase, the focus is on failure analysis (e.g., HALT ), the mass-production phase focuses on validation (e.g., HASS ).

It is recommended to obtain information through authoritative institutions (such as IEC 、 ISO 、 SAE etc.) to obtain the latest version of the standard text, or consult a professional testing laboratory (such as SGS 、 TÜV ).
