Safety mechanisms without derived actions

Explanation:

A search will be performed for (linked) error- detections & responses which have no actions (detection or preventive) derived for customer operation

068_SE

  • The above structure shows a compressed extract from the braking system of a vehicle. For the sake of clarity, the error detections and error responses are in two separate structure elements.
  • This Quality Rule identifies any error detections or error responses, which have not yet been turned into preventive- and detection actions from the failure net, via the mechanism “Derive actions for customer operation”, and have been anchored as actions at immediate causes.
  • By focusing on the error detections in the failure net, with the display option “Actions” active, it is possible to see which error- detections and responses have not yet been converted.
  • How the error detections are linked in the failure net can be seen here:

068-failure

Of all the error detections in this example, two have been made into actions for customer operation and anchored at immediate causes of failures belonging to error detections. An error response associated with an error detection is automatically turned into an action for customer operation if this option is applied to the error detection.
