3.302
Reliability -
3.3.2.1
Operational Stability - The equipment shall operate with satisfactory per-
formance, continuously or intermittently for a period of at least 1,000 hours without the
necessity for readjustment of any controls which are inaccessible to the operator during
normal use.
3.3.2.2
Operating Life - The equipment shall have total operating life of 10,000
hours with reasonable servicing and replacement of parts. Parts requiring scheduled re-
placement shall be specified by the contractor.
Reliability in Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) - The equipment shall
3.3.2.3
have 2,000 hours of mean (operating) time between failures when tested and accepted as out-
lined under the requirements of 4.4.3.
