It is important to analyze the true causes and take appropriate measures for preventing accidents and failures which may occur world wide. In the assessment process, it is necessary to survey literatures concerning the accidents and failures and pick up the information which is used for failure analysis. It is, however, difficult to carry out the process appropriately for the engineers who don't have special knowledge in the field concerned. The aim of this study is to develop the fault diagnosis database using Hierarchical Fault Classification Method to share the specialized and customized knowledge with the engineers on the Internet. In this paper, standardization of fault description is discussed to manage common data among machine elements and an example of the system is presented.
