1.1	1	= Introduction =
	2	CEC Claims automatically expire after a set period of time.
	3
	4	To prevent a CEC Claim from expiring, the Vendor can follow one of two processes:
	5
2.1	6	* CEC Certificate Renewal process
1.1	7	* CEC Certificate Extension process
	8
	9	The two processes are explained below in more detail:
2.1	10	= CEC Certificate Renewal process =
	11	The CEC Certificate Renewal process is the default process to extend the validity of a CEC Certificate.
3.1	12	The CEC Certificate Renewal process consists of a CEC re-Assessment of the product and site against the CEC Baseline valid at the time of re-assessment, and following successfully passing this CEC re-Assessment the certificate is re-issued with an expiry date extended by 12 month.
2.1	13	= CEC Certificate Extension process =
	14	The CEC Certificate Extension process is intended as an exceptional solution in case a CEC Certificate is about to expire and the Vendor cannot accommodate a CEC Assessment near the time of expiry of the CEC Certificate.
	15	The CEC Certificate Extension process omits a re-assessment of site and product, and results in the certificate being re-issued with an expiry date extended by 6 month.
	16	The CEC Certificate Extension process is only available under certain conditions:
2.2	17	* The CEC Certificate the Vendor requests the CEC Certificate Extension for, has either been:
2.1	18	** Initially granted less than 12 months ago, or
4.1	19	** Renewed less than 12 months ago as the result of a CEC Certificate Renewal process;
3.1	20	* The Vendor confirms that the product and the site listed on the CEC Certificate are substantially unchanged since the lastest CEC (re-)Assessment;
	21	Note that this implies that a CEC Certificate Extension cannot be directly followed by another, but that after a CEC Certificate Extension has been granted once, it must be followed by the full CEC Certificate Renewal process to prevent the CEC Certificate from lapsing.
