ABSTRACT:
The faults are described using a fault description which comprises data which have been determined using failure modes and effects analysis. The fault description is extended by information regarding the dependency of possible faults and the frequency of occurrence of said faults. The extended fault description is used to ascertain, for a prescribed fault event, the fault tree and the frequency of occurrence of the fault event.
