Different workflows might have different expiry time set for procedures having Approved status. This allows to set a different procedure review frequency, depending on type of machinery, facility or other technical particularities. Each new use of the procedure automatically extends its time before expiry by the set time frame, but this can be changed if the box to extend the validity period will be unchecked.
