Industry:Fire safety
A performance-based approach relies upon measurable (or calculable) outcomes (i.e., performance results) to be met but provides more flexibility as to the means of meeting those outcomes. A performance-based approach is one that establishes performance and results as the primary basis for decision-making and incorporates the following attributes: (1) Measurable or calculable parameters exist to monitor the system, including facility performance; (2) Objective criteria to assess performance are established based on risk insights, deterministic analyses, and/or performance history; (3) Plant operators have the flexibility to determine how to meet established performance criteria in ways that will encourage and reward improved outcomes; and (4) A framework exists in which the failure to meet a performance criteria, while undesirable, will not in and of itself constitute or result in an immediate safety concern.
Industry:Fire safety
A patient lead whose impedance to ground or to a power line is sufficiently high that connecting the lead to ground, or to either conductor of the power line, results in current flow below a hazardous limit in the lead.
