    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Complements and extends the internationally agreed definitions contained in Section 3.2 by providing conceptual explanations of many of these terms and by including additional terms.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Part of BS 4778 gives guidance on concepts and defines terms used in the disciplines of availability, reliability and maintainability (ARM). Its object is to assist understanding and communication in these fields.

    NOTE 1 The acronym ARM is used in this document to avoid making the text cumbersome; its use has no other significance and other acronyms such as RAM or R and M could equally serve the purpose.

    NOTE 2 The titles of publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
