In Knopik (2005) the ageing class MTFR (Mean Time to Failure or Repair) of lifetime distribution was introduced. In this paper, we show that the family MTFR is closed under weak convergence of distribution and convolution. We prove that the dual family MTFR^D (in a particular case) is closed under mixtures.
