skos:definition "Inability of a 'structure, system or component' to function within 'acceptance '<br/>
'criteria'.<br/>
<b>!</b> Note <br/>
that <br/>
the <br/>
'structure, system or component' is considered to fail when it <br/>
becomes incapable of functioning, whether or not this is needed at that time. <br/>A 'failure' in, for example, a backup 'system' may not be manifest until the <br/>'system' is called upon to function, either during testing or on 'failure' of the <br/>'system' it is backing up.<br/>
<i><b>common cause failure.</b></i> 'Failure' of two or more <i>structures, systems and <br/>components</i> due to a single specific 'event' or cause.<br/>
For example, a 'design' deficiency, a manufacturing deficiency, 'operation' and <br/>'maintenance' errors, a natural phenomenon, a human induced 'event', <br/>saturation of signals, or an unintended cascading effect from any other <br/>'operation' or 'failure' within the plant or from a change in ambient conditions.<br/>
<i><b>common mode failure.</b></i> 'Failure' of two or more<i> structures, systems and <br/>components</i> in the same manner or mode due to a single 'event' or cause.<br/>
I.e. 'common mode failure' is a type of 'common cause failure' in which the <br/>'structures, systems and components' fail in the same way.<br/>" (en)
