New concepts of partial stochastic orderings are introduced, and the relations among them and the classical partial orderings are shown. Relevance of these partial orderings in aging properties classification is discussed, and new classes of life distributions, based on them, are proposed. An application to stochastic comparison between Poisson shock models is proposed.
