For example, if the cap fails less than 5% of the time after 5,000 hours at 130c it passes that rating.
Caps can live a long time, it is not like a fresh salmon expiration date at room temp or something. You just don't want your car to crash, jet fighter to drop out of the sky or hospital equipment to fail more than 5% of the time.
