Certification of a whiskey's materials, process or age does not by itself establish that a drinker will prefer it or that it fits a particular sensory target.
A certificate can support a relevant constraint or reduce uncertainty; the historical proposal is not evidence of current law or an implemented certification scheme.
The period proposal helps separate what could be observed and certified from a broader claim of quality. Read every certificate by its actual scope.
