Abstract
The paper deals with problems of using dependability terms, defined in actual standard STN IEC 50 (191): International electrotechnical dictionary, chap. 191: Dependability and quality of service (1993), in a technical systems dependability analysis. The goal of the paper is to find a relation between terms introduced in the mentioned standard and used in the technical systems dependability analysis and rules and practices used in a system analysis of the system theory. Description of a part of the system life cycle related to reliability is used as a starting point. The part of a system life cycle is described by the state diagram and reliability relevant therms are assigned.
