Availability

Note that the definition of availability given in IEC 60050-191:1990, 3.1.1, can be misleading because it can lead one to think that “availability” and “reliability” are the same concepts. This is not true because the meaning of “over a given time interval” is not at all the same for the concepts of “availability” and “reliability”. Even if the definitions of “availability” and “reliability” seem very close, these concepts are completely different, specifically: availability: item working at a given instant (no matter what has happened before); reliability: item working continuously over a whole period of time. “Availability” characterizes a function that can be interrupted without any problem and “reliability,” a function that cannot be interrupted over a whole period of time.
