Section 32 of 105
31. Required Outcomes and Performance Limits
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-32 · 26 content blocks
A Rule shall state the outcome that must be achieved and, where applicable, the limits within which conformance is accepted.
Performance limits may address:
- Strength.
- Stability.
- Deformation.
- Leakage.
- Temperature.
- Fire resistance.
- Moisture.
- Acoustic performance.
- Electrical continuity.
- Isolation.
- Reliability.
- Accuracy.
- Tolerance.
- Response time.
- Availability.
- Service life.
- Data integrity.
- Compatibility.
- Recovery time.
- Uncertainty.
A performance limit shall define the relevant unit, boundary, condition, duration, statistical basis, safety factor, confidence level, and measurement method where these are necessary.
Targets, estimates, aspirations, and mandatory limits shall remain distinguishable.
A required outcome shall not depend on a single nominal value when performance varies materially with environment, manufacturing variation, aging, configuration, or use.
Where uncertainty cannot be eliminated, the Rule shall define how it is represented and which conservative, restricted, or additional-verification condition applies.
