a. For radiation margin issues still open or identified after CDR, an analysis shall be performed to evaluate:
1. Potential solutions.
2. The functioning of the part in the context of a worst-case analysis.
3. The implications at sub-system and system level.
NOTE 1 Problems identified or remaining close to or after CDR can be expensive to rectify.
NOTE 2 The pass/fail criteria in testing can be unrelated, or not closely related, to functional failure. If a part’s parameter is out of spec after testing, it can be that the parameter is not important in the equipment worst-case analysis.
