The validity period of standards also plays a role in assessing the environmental impact of eco-labels. Products or companies are usually certified for a certain period of time, i.e. the label can be awarded to all corresponding products manufactured within this period. The longer this period of time, the further the requirements set may lag behind current technical developments. This can be observed especially with labels for electrical appliances.
