1. Method for estimating a life reducing damage to an object which is subject to a load during operation, wherein at least a first parameter which corresponds to an operational state which generates the damage to the object, and at least a second parameter which corresponds to a condition for or around the object that by itself is not able to generate the damage, but which makes the damage generated by the operational state worse, are determined by at least one operation, which is measurement, and wherein such measurement is being carried out repeatedly, wherein a total load which is defined by the total effect on the life of the object by the operational state and the operational condition is calculated in such a way that variations in the damage resistance of the object which the operational condition gives rise to are adjusted for, and in that the total load is expressed as a product of a function for the operational state and a function for the operational condition.
