O assessment criteria.

Possibility of failureEvaluation criteria: the possibility of causesGrade

Very highNew technology and new design without corresponding historyDH

HighInevitable failure due to new design, new application, or change of operating conditionsEH
New design, new application, or change of operating conditions may lead to failureVH
Uncertain failures due to new design, new application, or change of operating conditionsH

MediumFailure of similar design and design testMH
Occasional failures in design and testingM
Isolated failures in similar designs and design testsML

LowAlmost identical designs and isolated failures in design testingL
Almost the same design and undetected failure in design testingVL

Very lowBy preventing controllable failuresEL
