This test is following up the US CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), Health Canada, and other global recalls (e.g. SA) of the NZXT H1. People can currently either apply for a refund or a repair for their NZXT H1 case, and the new PCIe riser is what we're testing today. The goal is to determine whether the fire starter has been replaced with a safer riser, and to make extra sure that everything has been fixed, we sent it out for x-ray in addition to usual continuity and short circuit testing.
