Internal qualification results above IEC standards
In line with REC’s philosophy of the best quality design and performance, every
design change or investigation undergoes an internal qualification process to
identify characteristics that do not perform to expectations. This process has more
stringent pass criteria than industry standards to ensure a reliable product.
