NTl,-STD-162!lAindenture level analysis. Where functions shown on a block diagram areperformd by a replaceable module in the system, a separate FMEA shallbe performed on the internal functions of the module, viewing the moduleas a system. The effects of possible failure modes in the module lnp~ltsand outputs describe the failure modes of tl}emodule wl~en it is viewedas an item within the system. To assist in assuring that a completeanalysis Is performed, each failure mode and output function shall, as aminimum, be examined in relation to the following typical failure conditions:a. Premature operation.b. Failure to operate at a prescribed time.c* Intermittent operation.d. Failure to cease opera~ion at a prescribed time.e. Loss of output or failure during operation.f. Degraded output or operational capability.g“ Other unique failure conditions, as applicable,based upon ~y~~en characteristics and operti~iundlrequirements or constraints.5.5 Mission phase/operational mode. A concise statement ofthe mission phase and operational mode in which the failure occurs.Where subphase, event, or time can be defined from the system definitionand mission profiles, the most definitive timing information should alsobe entered for the assumed time of failure occurrence.5.6 Failure effect. The consequences of each assumed failuremode on item operation, function, or status shall be identified, evaluated,and recorded. Failure effects shall focus on the specific block diagramelement which is affected by the failure under consideration. Thefailure under consideration may impact several indenture levels inaddition to the indenture level under analysis; therefore, “local,”“next higher level,” and ‘“endt’effects shall be evaluated. Failureeffects shall also consider the mission objectives, maintenance requirementsand personnel and sys~ern safety.5.6.1 Local effects. Local effects concentrate specifically on—— -—the impact an assumed failure mode has on the operation and function ofthe item in the indenture level under consideration. The consequencesof each postulated failure affecting the item shall be described alnn~with any second-order effects which result. T!ICIpurpose of definin}-,lc)CaI effects is to provide a basis for evaluating compensatin~ prn’risi~)nsand for recommending corrective action:;. It is j)ossible for ~l]e “lf)cal”effect to be the failure mode its~’lf.
MI L-STD-1629A5.6.2 Next higher level. Next higher level effects concentrateon the impact an assumed failure has on the operation and function ofthe items in the next higher indenture level above the indenture levelunder consideration. The consequences of each postulated failure affectingthe next higher indenture level shall be described.“15.6.3 End effects. End effects evaluate and define the totaleffect an assumed failure has on the operation, function, or status ofthe uppermost system. The end effect described may be the result of adouble failure. For example, failure of a safety device may result in acatastrophic end effect only in the event that both the prime functiongoes beyond limit for which the safety device is set and the safetydevice falls. Those end effects resultil~g from a double failure shallbe indicated on the FMRA worksheets.5.7 Failure detection method. A description of the methodsby which occurrence of the failure mode is detected by the operatorshall be recorded. The failure detection means, such as visual oraudible warning devices, automatic sensing devices, sensing instrumentation,other unique indications, or none shall be identified..5.7.1 (3Cher indications. Description+ of indicati(’~nswhich areevident to an operator that a system has malfunctioned or failed, otherthan the identified warning devices, shall be recorded. Proper correlationof a system malfunction or failure may require identification of nomalindications as well as abnormal indications. If no indication exists,identify if the undetected failure will jeopardize the mission objectivesor personnel safety. If the undetected failure allows the system toremain in a safe state, a second failure situation should be explored todetermine whether or not an indication will be evident tu alloperator.Indications to the operator should be described as follows:a. Normal. An indication that is evident to an operatorwhen the system or equipment is operating nomally.b. Abnormal. An indication that is evident to anoperator when the system has malfunctioned or failed.c. Incorrect. An errone:)us indication to an operatorduc to the malfunction or failure of an indicator(i.e., instruments, s~nsin~ devices, visual eraudible warning devices, etc.).5.7.2 Isolation.

An operatorwill kno~’ only tlILJinitial symptom:; unril further specific action istaken such as performing a more detailed built-in-test (BIT).
