The NPRD, EPRD and FMD data collections are used worldwide as surrogate reliability data. The datasets contain 3.7 million records of failure rate and failure mode/mechanism data on hundreds of thousands of electronic and nonelectronic components and assemblies, making them the largest commercially available datasets in the world.

The data is contained in Quanterion’s databooks, which include:

  • Nonelectronic Parts Reliability Data (NPRD, including NPRD-2023)
  • Electronic Parts Reliability Data (EPRD, including the recent EPRD-2024)
  • Failure Mode/Mechanism Distributions (FMD)

 

Engineers around the world use the reliability data to:

  • Perform analyses including Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and safety analysis
  • Improve the quality and reliability of current products and systems
  • Assess reliability requirement feasibility
  • Build reliability into new designs
  • Produce cutting-edge software for calculating product and system reliability (ask about our data agreements)

Access to entire databooks of failure rate and failure mode/mechanism data opens up a world of possibilities for engineers working in design, production, systems, software, electrical, mechanical, and other fields.

Quanterion Solutions also provides custom consulting to help you get optimal use out of the data. Email us at Reliability@quanterion.com to learn more!

How to Access the Reliability Data

The datasets are available through the Reliability Online Automated Databook System (ROADS), which is a subscription service that provides easy, searchable access to the data.

ROADS was built on a long-standing tradition of improving industry access to reliability data. Features in the new version of ROADS include faster search capabilities, advanced group user management, and instant data updates as the data warrants. These features are tailored to industry needs identified by the company’s reliability, electrical and component engineers.
