FMEA Document Analysis (Quality Rules)
Help & support
Note:
Here you will find an overview of the Quality rules available in the APIS IQ software with a detailed explanation.
Quality Rules can be applied in such Editors as the FFA & in the Management Report
Search results consist of two parts:
The number of hits will be displayed in a window
In the FFA list, the hits will be highlighted and have the attribute “HL” next to it.
Structures
- Incorrectly linked structure-root failures
- Incorrectly linked structure-root functions and characteristics
System elements
- System element types with inconsistent functions
- Incorrectly linked failures from base elements
- Incorrectly linked functions and characteristics of base elements
- System- and process elements without functions
- System- and process elements without characteristics
Functions / Requirements / Characteristics (Product/Process)
- Linked functions and characteristics without failures
- Functions and characteristics without failures
- Functions and characteristics without effects and causes
- Function- and characteristic types with inconsistent failures
- Function types with inconsistent requirements
- Characteristics (Control Plan) without classification

Control methods and Reaction plans
Failures
- Failures with deviating fault tree causes
- Failures, error detections and error responses without effects and causes
- Failure types with inconsistent actions
- Failure types with inconsistent S ratings
- Failures with S-rating which have at least one effect
Top failures
- Top failures with base failures that have incomplete actions

- Top failures with missing S rating
- Top failures
Base failures
- Base failure(s) with missing action type
- Base failure(s) with missing safe S rating
- Base failures without actions
- Base failures which have effects that have safety goals and are not secured with an error detection
- Base failures which have effects that have safety goals and not secured with an error response
- Base failures with actions without S rating in effects chain
- Base failures at inner structure elements
Failure links
- linked failures that are anchored to the same function
- Linked failures with inversely connected function links
- Linked failures with non-compliant VDA function links
Revision states
- Misplaced final revision states
- Redundant final revision states
- Revision states with critical risk-matrix rank
- Revision states with undesirable successors
Action groups
- Action groups without D rating but with O rating
- Action groups without O rating but with D rating
- Action groups without actions
- Action groups without valuation
- Action groups with no actions

Functional Safety
- DSCF without error detection
- DSCF without error response
- DSCF with missing actual-values for the failure rate (FIT)
- DSCF linked to safety mechanisms without failures
- DSCF which are not top failures
- Safety goals without failures
Functional Safety according to ISO 26262 (ASIL)
- DSCF where target PMHF exceeds calculated PMFH
- DSCF with target SPFM not reached
- DSCF without PMHF-target value
- DSCF without SPFM-target value
- Error detection without DC value
- Safety-critical failures without ASIL
Functional Safety according to IEC 61508 (SIL)
- DSCF where target PFH exceeds calculated PFH
- DSCF with target SFF not reached
- DSCF without PFH-target value
- DSCF without SFF-target value
- Safety-critical failures without SIL
