The degradation type indicates the category (for example, age-related or strategy-based) and specifies the confidence questionnaire to be used for assets and their lining, if appropriate. See Also Criticality Failure mode criticality value assigned to this entry in the inspection factor matrix. The failure mode’s criticality describes the severity of failure consequences. See Also Confidence factor Confidence factor assigned to this entry in the inspection factor matrix. The confidence factor represents the analysis team’s faith in current maintenance or inspection practices to contain the failure mode’s risk. The higher the value, the greater the confidence. The confidence factor can adjust the inspection factor or likelihood of failure up or down.
