`failed` is a state of a unit and as such it is documented in `systemd` man
page.
I'm not sure if `systemd` man page fits into your definition of
“associated”.

~~~~~~~~
       Units may be "active" (meaning started,
       bound, plugged in, ..., depending on the unit type, see below), or
       "inactive" (meaning stopped, unbound, unplugged, ...), as well as in
       the process of being activated or deactivated, i.e. between the two
       states (these states are called "activating", "deactivating"). A
       special "failed" state is available as well, which is very similar to
       "inactive" and is entered when the service failed in some way
(process
       returned error code on exit, or crashed, or an operation timed out).
If
       this state is entered, the cause will be logged, for later reference.
