Editorial Standards & Ethics
At ProductLifespans.com, every article is developed with a commitment to accuracy, transparency, and practical consumer value. Our editorial standards are built on the following core principles.
Evidence-Based Research
Whenever possible, our guidance is supported by authoritative technical sources, including:
- Manufacturer documentation and owner manuals
- Government publications and safety directives
- Applicable industry and technical standards
- University research and extension publications
Practical maintenance advice is clearly distinguished from manufacturer recommendations and scientific evidence, ensuring readers always understand the source of the guidance.
Fact-Checking & Accuracy
Technical information, maintenance recommendations, and lifespan guidance are reviewed against multiple reliable sources before publication. When authoritative evidence is limited or conflicting, we clearly explain the uncertainty rather than presenting speculation as fact.
Continuous Review
Articles are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect new manufacturer guidance, revised industry standards, product design changes, and emerging maintenance best practices.
Transparency & Experience
When assumptions, estimates, or experience-based recommendations are necessary to fill gaps in official data, they are explicitly identified as such so readers can distinguish them from information supported by authoritative, documented sources.
