The cost of improving reliability

These submunitions have a very high level of reliability, thus reducing the risk of generation of explosive remnants of war and consequently of collateral damage among civilian populations.

They will be driven by the demands of the armed forces who will operate with the weapons, and they will also be driven by the requirement to present high reliability levels as a sales feature for the munition.

Ensuring the reliability of inventory data to be used in the inventory review process under the Convention and under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol is a high priority.

Draft paragraph 3 (b) placed undue emphasis on the technology used and focused on reliability of method rather than on reliability of essence.

Matching the reliability, base load is actually irrelevant.

The success of the programme depended largely on the reliability of financial support.

In attempting to improve munition reliability it is important to appreciate that the cost improvement ratio is not linear and as such costs will tend to increase significantly as higher levels of reliability are sought.

The draft convention, on the other hand, did not deal with attribution of electronic communications, so that there was no need for a reliability test.

Mr. Maiyegun (Nigeria) said that while his delegation wished to retain the reliability requirement, it also sympathized with the concerns expressed by Canada and Singapore.

In terms of a low medium high cost rating it depends on what each break point might be in dollar terms, but annual cost increases to achieve the increased reliability levels could be anywhere in the order of magnitude from 10 50 .

Once these risks are identified and prioritised, a more detailed and focused assessment on how to improve the reliability of specific munition natures could be undertaken and an approximate cost estimate to implement this increase in reliability could be determined.

A reliability centered maintenance program continually adjusted procedures based on actual performance data and operational experience.

Auditors' independence is a prerequisite for the reliability and credibility of the audit of financial statements.

We note that in order to achieve the objective of harmonization of laws relating to electronic commerce, the draft convention should contain either a uniform standard for the reliability requirement for electronic signatures (which can be in the form of a general reliability requirement as in paragraph 3 (b) of article 9), or no reliability requirement (which will be achieved if paragraph 3 (b) of article 9 were deleted).
