About This Item
IEC TS 63164-1:2020 addresses the reliability of industrial automation devices and systems, with a specific focus on assuring the reliability data used to describe them and identifying the source of that data. For engineering teams, test laboratories, and procurement specialists, it supports more consistent technical evaluation and documented review of reliability claims. As a technical specification, IEC TS 63164-1:2020 is relevant where reliability evidence must be traceable, comparable, and suitable for compliance workflows, product assessment, and quality assurance activities.
IEC TS 63164-1:2020 standard overview
The published title, Reliability of industrial automation devices and systems - Part 1: Assurance of automation devices reliability data and specification of their source, indicates a document focused on how reliability data for automation devices should be established and documented. IEC TS 63164-1:2020 is therefore useful when organizations need a structured basis for technical review, verification activities, and conformity assessment preparation. It may support internal engineering documentation, supplier evaluation, and reliability-related decision-making by clarifying the origin and credibility of the data used in assessments.
Applications of IEC TS 63164-1:2020
This technical document is most relevant in industrial automation environments where devices and systems are selected, validated, or qualified using reliability evidence. It may be used during product evaluation, laboratory evaluation, and procurement review for control equipment, automation components, or integrated systems. Teams involved in operational consistency, maintenance planning, or risk management can use IEC TS 63164-1:2020 to support documented evaluation of reliability data and to align testing workflows with a clearer source specification for technical validation.
Why IEC TS 63164-1:2020 matters
Reliable data is essential when automation performance affects safety, uptime, interoperability, and lifecycle cost. IEC TS 63164-1:2020 helps organizations strengthen technical compliance by making reliability claims more traceable and easier to assess during engineering validation or conformity assessment preparation. It can also improve quality workflows by reducing ambiguity around data provenance, which is important for procurement decisions, supplier comparisons, and regulatory preparation. In practice, that supports more defensible documentation and lower uncertainty in technical assessments.
