[RE-wrenches] CEC module rating testing

Wrenches,

Can anyone tell how PTC ratings are determined for modules on the CEC list of eligible modules?  I seem to recall having heard that the manufacturers provide this data on the honor system.  Can anyone verify this?

The test is obviously more involved than flash testing at STC.  Even though PTC is supposed to simulate more real-world conditions, it must still require a controlled environment.  How exactly is this done, and how long does it take?

Best,
