IS 15550 : 2005 Failure Mode Effects Analysis

1 Scope

1.1 This standard describes potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis(FMEA) and provides generic guidelines in the application of thetechnique. There are four basic types of FMEA, namely:

a) Design FMEA,

b) Process FMEA,

c) Programme/Project FMEA, and

d) Machinery FMEA.

1.2 Process FMEA is of two types:

a) Manufacturing FMEA, and

b) Assembly FMEA.

The Machinery and Programme FMEA are not covered by this standard. FMEAincludes all requirements of FMECA as well. The typical Design FMEA andProcess FMEA Quality objectives are listed in Annex A and Annex B.
