This document describes the UK_Defence Business Data Exchange Specification for defining Anomaly Reporting information.
This information is used primarily for identification of anomalies, whether that be a fault, defect or failures identified
on
products during the in-service phase of their life cycle.
Anomalies include:
Fault: An aspect or condition of a product which renders it divergent from its design specification.
Defect: A divergence from a product’s design specification due to an error in design or manufacture.
