Jargon seems ok to me it is accrurate and correct terminology.

Are we sure the demand mode classification is correct? I'm reading a spec sheet for a stop button classifying low demand sil 2 as 10-6 to 10-7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.70.140 (talk) 21:03, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Categories of likelihood of occurrence[edit]

I doubt if the description of the occurrence matches the displayed frequencies. "Occasional: Once in system lifetime: 10^−4 to 10^−5" How is one in ten thousand per year equal to once in a system life time? I'd say a system lifetime is in the order of magnitude of 20 years. Once in its lifetime would thus give a frequency of 1/20 per year -> 10^-1 to 10^-2 193.67.17.36 (talk) 13:20, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
