The advent of HASS into the marketplace has enabled scores of manufacturers to reduce dramatically the number of production‐related failures being shipped into their customers' hands. HASS is a screening process that uses accelerated techniques to uncover manufactured product weaknesses and flaws. The process requires the use of the HALT results, and other product specific information to design the initial profile, and then to tune it for optimal effectiveness. This paper presents the HASS development process as it was applied to an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) product, in one of QualMark's Accelerated Reliability Test Centers (ARTC). This process is presented in a systematic approach to demonstrate the methods employed to create an effective screen. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
