Stress test for how many cycles? Carbon tend to fatigue with time so the stress test out of factory don't tell you for sure how long it will last. It only tell you the component can take the stress test for 50 cycles.
Liability is sooo easy to get rid of with carbon parts, impossible to prove once it broke that installation was right (mean if you install yourself as many here, liability is over). You can even say "sry our handlebar are only compatible with our stem".
