Scale used to apply FMEA.
| Range | Occurrence | Severity | Detection | Possible failure rate | Failure probability | Effect |
| 10 | ≥1 in 2 | Extremely high | Dangerous | There is no known or available detection method that provides an early alert, enough for doing contingency planning | 9 | 1 in 3 | Very high | Serious |
| 8 | 1 in 8 | Repeated failure | Extreme | The detection method is untested or unreliable | 7 | 1 in 20 | High | High |
| 6 | 1 in 80 | Moderately high | Significative | The detection method has a medium level of effectiveness | 5 | 1 in 400 | Moderated | Moderated |
| 4 | 1 in 2000 | Relatively low | Low | The detection method has a moderately high effectiveness | 3 | 1 in 15000 | Low | Very low |
| 2 | 1 in 150000 | Remote | Insignificant | The detection method is highly effective | 1 | ≤1 in 1500000 | Almost impossible | None |
