which you can use the product safely and reliably
based on the design specications.
If the product is used beyond this period, its failure
ratio may increase due to time-related deterioration
of parts, etc.
The recommended design life during which the
product can operate reliably with the lowest
failure ratio and least deterioration over time is
estimated scientically based on acceleration tests,
endurance tests, etc., taking into consideration the
operating environment, conditions, and frequency
of use as basic parameters.
