- A RESS reviewer said "Operational profile uncertainty is one of the main hurdles that make people be reluctant toward using reliability /operational testing in practice. The technical contribution of the paper is sound and provides a novel piece of work”
P Bishop has been contacted by the chair of an IEC 61508 safety standard sub-group to discuss updating current guidance in this area.
The theory is currently being used to optimise the statistical test programme for a nuclear plant protection system (a multi-million pound test project).
Standards and statistical test contacts can be provided to REF by City University.
