can be anything...see explanation below


Explanation:
Found this through Google, so I give this a go with an educated guess:

This was shown as "RA™ & Failsafe EF™" in the document I found. If they refer to the same thing, then these terms just refer to manufacturer's branding/naming of their products.

The document gave us an example: "RAEM is ...a further development of RA™, where EM stands for 'extra movement'". So as far as above abbreviations go, they should be on the lines of Rubber (Shock) Absorber, Fail-safe Extra Flexible, and etc.

Suggest leave as is, and add explanation if required to ensure the readers understand: xxx's RA™ & Failsafe EF™ product series
