Life Expectancy of Gear

Hello Group,

Does anyone know of a listing or publication on the estimated life expectancy of various bits of kit in use in the entertainment industry in various applications?

I'm looking for something that would provide guidelines on planning long-range maintain and replacement of gear in both touring and install situations.

I have my own ideas of how long certain bits of gear will last, but if there were a published source, it might pull a bit more weight with some of the higher-ups in my municipality.

Cheers,
--
