19、 intervals FOREWORD 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standar
20、dization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory wo
21、rk. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organization
22、s. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested National Committees. 3) The documents produced have the form o
23、f recommendations for international use and are published in the form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC I
24、nternational Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its
25、 approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for iden
26、tifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60605-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 56: Dependability. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1986 and its amendment 1 (1989), of which it constitutes a technical revision. The text of
27、 this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 56/737/FDIS 56/756/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Direct
28、ives, Part 3. Annexes A and B are for information only. Annexes C, D, E and F form an integral part of this standard.

29、tion will remain unchanged until 2006. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition, or amended.

30、t 4: Statistical procedures for exponential distribution Point estimates, confidence intervals, prediction intervals and tolerance intervals 1 Scope This International Standard provides statistical methods for evaluating point estimates, confidence intervals, prediction intervals and tolerance inter
31、vals for the failure rate of items, whose time to failure follows an exponential distribution. This implies that the failure rate (see IEV 191-12-02) is constant with respect to time. It should be noted that although reference is made above to failure rate, the numerical methods to be described are
32、equally applicable to other event rates provided the times to the occurrence of the event follow an exponential distribution. Thus, with this qualification, the numerical methods will apply, for example, to constant failure intensities and constant repair rates (see IEV 191-12-04 and IEV 191-13-02 r
33、espectively). For convenience, however, and to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference will be made in what follows only to failures and failure rates. Use of the procedures in this standard should be supported by tests to confirm the validity of the assumption of constant failure rate or failure in
34、tensity (see IEC 60605-6). This standard is also applicable whenever a random sample of items is subjected to a test of times to failure for the purpose of estimating measures of reliability performance. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through refer
