相關重點摘譯如下：

Appraisals
評鑑

A three-year maximum period of validity for SCAMPI Class A appraisals will be instituted with the release of CMMI Version 1.2. Though an appraisal can become no longer valid for other reasons, three years after the appraisal end date the appraisal results will expire and become invalid based on age.
最多三年效期的SCAMPI Class A評鑑，將伴隨 CMMI-SE/SW/IPPD/SS - V1.2版的發行而確立。雖然造成評鑑失效有其他諸多原因，但是評鑑完成日期起算的三年後，評鑑結果將過期，並隨時間而失效。

The SEI will notify an organization of the age of their appraisal at the two year point. This practice will alert organizations in time for them to plan a new appraisal before the older appraisal results expire.
SEI會在通過評鑑滿兩年的時候，通知軟體組織其評鑑效期還有多久。本項作法將能及時提醒軟體組織，使其能夠在先前的評鑑結果失效前，做好新一輪評鑑的規劃。
