lifespan


Explanation:
a guess

# The maximum lifespan of a species is the characteristic observed age of death for its very oldest individual(s) (eg, for humans 122+ years). On the other hand, average lifespan is the age at which 50 percent of the members of a species or group has died. Over the last two centuries, average life expectancy has risen significantly, while maximum lifespan as demonstrated in the Table above has hardly changed at all.

# Lifespans are thought to be genetically determined - based on the longevity differences of species, mutants, hybrids, strains and sexes. Because of improved medical and social conditions the average human life expectancy at birth has increased from 40 years in the mid 19th century to over 75 years today. (For a C19th Labourer in rural England it was 38 years, but just 29 years in London's Whitechapel slums.)

# life: the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death); "the battery had a short life"; "he lived a long and happy life"

# Life expectancy is the most likely number of years remaining for a living being (or the average for a class of living beings) of a given age to live.

It is hypothetical because it is assumed upon manufacturing the material and it is not exact expiry date, may be after may be before the hypothetical lifetime.
