The report covers a new disc lifing procedure. Both the damage tolerance approach for disc lifing as well as a modified safe-life philosophy, the so-called refined cycle counting method, result in a considerable life extension in relation to the current safe-life approach. The paper describes the background of both methods, their potential merits and associated problems, and their current application in service. An indication of the financial benefits is also given.
