Life-critical system
A life-critical system or safety-critical system is a system whose failure or malfunction may result in one (or more) of the following outcomes:
Risks of this sort are usually managed with the methods and tools of safety engineering. A life-critical system is designed to lose less than one life per billion (109) hours of operation. Typical design methods include probabilistic risk assessment, a method that combines failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) with fault tree analysis. Safety-critical systems are increasingly computer-based.
Reliability regimes
Several reliability regimes for life-critical systems exist:
