Quality and Reliability
Reliability Stress Tests
The following table contains brief descriptions of the reliability tests commonly used in evaluating Teccor product reliability on a peri-
odic basis. These tests are applied across product lines depending on product availability and test equipment capacities. Other tests 
may be performed when appropriate.
Flammability Test
For the UL 94V0 flammability test, all expoxies used in Teccor encapsulated devices are recognized by Underwriters Laboratories
