The Interpretations of ASME normally do not have the validation period while Code Cases have the effective period.
The effectiveness of Interpretations depends on the latest edition up to current addenda from your required date.
So my recommendation is when you apply the Interpretation, please confirm the Editions passed 3 years at least from the issued date of the Interpretation because it is only for one time information (no revision/ no updating).
