FRB

Failure Review Board

What it actually means

The board that disposition each significant test or field failure: confirming root cause, approving corrective action, and deciding whether the failure counts against reliability requirements (a "relevant" failure) or not. The scoring decisions are consequential — reliability numbers are made and unmade in FRB minutes.

Where you'll meet it
