Different manufacturers will have different guarantees for their products, also there are different types of treating, and different types of wood that are treated that vary in their lifespan. Here's a couple of links that explain about pressure treated wood and it's uses, limitations, etc...

Lowes has a new abs fiber board that is guaranteed for 50 yrs. Might want to check this out. Cost around 20 dollars a 4' x 8' x 3/4" sheet.

All treated wood is treated to 85% except marine treated.
Marine is lifetime guaranteed in the US. Regular varies state to state, but generally 15 yrs.

That will vary with different climate conditions and whether or not it is in contact with the ground. I have seen it used in retaining walls with ground contact 25 years and still sound.
