There are some notes when using IAP on page 294 of the LPC214x user manual.

Page 6 of the LPC214x user manual:
" The LPC2141/2/4/6/8 Flash memory provides minimum of 100,000 erase/write
cycles and 20 years of data-retention."

This is a demo posted by Phillips apps that you might be interested in:
