In this paper, moment inequalities for the new better than renwal used in Laplace transform order ( NBRUL ) class of ageing distributions are derived. This inequalities demonstrate that if the mean life is finite, then all higher order moments exist. A new test for exponentiality versus NBRUL can be constructed using thes inequalities. Pitman's asymptotic efficiencies and critical values of the proposed test are calculated and tabulated. The powers of this test are estimated for some famously alternatives distributions in reliability such as Linear failure rate,Weibull and gamma distributions. Finally, examples in different areas are used as a practical applications of the proposed test.References
