Standard warranty
Warranties on products sold through direct sales channels are primarily for one year. Warranties for products sold through distribution channels are primarily for three years. We accrue for standard warranty costs based on historical trends in warranty charges. The accrual is reviewed regularly and periodically adjusted to reflect changes in warranty cost estimates. Estimated warranty charges are recorded within “cost of products” at the time related product revenue is recognized.
Activity related to the standard warranty accrual, which is included in “other accrued liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was as follows:
