Special Emphasis Components - Summary

There are some specific cases where the S-RBI assessment approach, in IMS PEI, changes, depending on the Equipment/Component type or the Degradation Mechanism. This section gives guidance for the specific Equipment/Component type cases – the Special Emphasis Components. In another section you can find DM specific guidance in the Degradation Modules.

The table below highlights the Equipment/Component types for which specific modelling is implemented in IMS PEI.
