•areliabilityprocesscontrolandauditguide.
TheobjectivesoftheFIDESGuidearefirstlytomakearealisticevaluationofthe
reliabilityofelectronicproducts,includinginsystemsthatencountersevereornonaggressive
environments(storage),andsecondlytoprovideaspecifictoolforthe

Itsmaincharacteristicsare:
•TheexistenceofmodelsbothforElectricalElectronicandElectromagnetic
components,andforelectronicboardsorsomesubassemblies.
•Demonstrationandtakingaccountofalltechnologicalandphysicalfactorsthat
haveanidentifiedroleinreliability.
•Preciselytakingaccountofthelifeprofile.
•Takingaccountofelectrical,mechanicalandthermaloverstresses.
•Takingaccountoffailuresrelatedtothedevelopment,production,operationand
maintenanceprocesses.
•Thepossibilityofmakingadistinctionbetweenseveralsuppliersofasingle
