PDS Method and Data Handbooks
SINTEF has developed a method for quantifying the reliability/availability of safety systems, called the PDS method. The method is widely used in the petroleum industry, but is also applicable to other business sectors. The method is accompanied by a detailed data handbook that provides reliability data based on field feedback for safety equipment.
