9、national Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
10、been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical st
11、andardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies fo
12、r voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all

14、uipment during acceptance testing or operation can be catastrophic. Failure of the facility, systems or equipment can damage flight or ground hardware and injure personnel. Failures need to be thoroughly investigated in order to prevent future failures, damage and injuries. In order to investigate f
15、ailures of launch pad or integration site facilities, systems or equipment, adequate processes and procedures must be employed to thoroughly analyse and determine the cause of the failure. Identification of failure causes is necessary to implement changes to the facility, system and equipment in ord
16、er to prevent a recurrence of the failure and the resulting damage or injury. This International Standard establishes procedures for determining the causes of facility, system and equipment failures and preventing such failures.

17、ystems Launch pad and integration site Facility, system and equipment failure analysis1 ScopeThis International Standard establishes procedures for the analysis of failures that occur during the acceptance testing or operation of launch pad and integration site facilities, systems and equipment. The
18、 procedures define the processes for investigating, analysing and identifying the probable causes of failures, and for developing corrective actions to preclude future failures.The purpose of this International Standard is to provide rules for investigating, analysing and identifying the causes of f
19、ailures, sufficient information so that corrective action may be implemented to prevent failure recurrence, and a uniform method for maintaining records of the findings of all failure causes so as to provide information for other failure investigations.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this

30、; acceptance test certificates and reports; cogent reports, log-books, schedules and certifications.3.2 The failure analysis shall be carried out by a team of experts.2 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 16159:2012ISO 16159:2012(E)3.3 The failure analysis team shall be given the task of investigatin

32、nclude representatives of the facility, system or equipment developer and manufacturer and typically also includes representatives of the operator, the component developer, the component manufacturer, the assembly organization, the maintenance organization, the expert on quality assurance, and the c
33、ustomer.3.5 The following shall also be considered when selecting the failure analysis team experts: type of facility, system or equipment; type of discrepant component failure (e.g. structural, mechanical or electrical); symptoms of the failure; availability of information on the conditions prior t
