Is it safe to assess the reliability of the system from the failure rate datas that i can from the manufacturer and the reliability data handbook from RAC? I am using negative exponential law for calculating the reliabilities of the system. Please advice.

We're thinking of changing these ICs to industrial grade. However, is there any difference in the junction temperature for commercial and industry grade ICs ?

How do I calculate the reduction? I don't seem to be getting the same answer a previous report indicates, so... the report indicated 37 % decrease and I do not know where that came from nor do I know if its correct.

We're looking at test condition B (-55C to +125C) for 1000 cycles. Is this a component level standard? We want to define an appropriate unit level test to stress the interconnects of production hardware.

According to field data the influence of temperature is minor in comparison to humidity , despite the theory of Ahrenius Model and MIL-HDBF-217. So we are considering to start storing this type of equipment without temperature control (just humidity conrol). We are concerned that this action will cause serious shortage of system life time? What can you advise in this case?
