7.2	7	* [[CEC Certificate Renewal >>doc:.C0630 - CEC Certificate Renewal.WebHome]]process
8.1	8	* [[CEC Certificate Extension>>doc:.C0660 - Certificate Extension - Guidance.WebHome]] process
1.1	9
6.2	10	The two processes are described below:
7.2	11
2.1	12	= CEC Certificate Renewal process =
7.2	13
2.1	14	The CEC Certificate Renewal process is the default process to extend the validity of a CEC Certificate.
6.1	15
3.1	16	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.
7.2	17
2.1	18	= CEC Certificate Extension process =
7.2	19
2.1	20	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.
6.1	21
2.1	22	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.
6.1	23
2.1	24	The CEC Certificate Extension process is only available under certain conditions:
7.2	25
2.2	26	* The CEC Certificate the Vendor requests the CEC Certificate Extension for, has either been:
2.1	27	** Initially granted less than 12 months ago, or
4.1	28	** Renewed less than 12 months ago as the result of a CEC Certificate Renewal process;
3.1	29	* The Vendor confirms that the product and the site listed on the CEC Certificate are substantially unchanged since the lastest CEC (re-)Assessment;
6.1	30
3.1	31	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.
