		3	CEC Claims automatically expire after a set period of time.

		5	To prevent a CEC Claim from expiring, the Vendor can follow one of two processes:
		6
		7	* [[CEC Certificate Renewal >>doc:.C0630 - CEC Certificate Renewal.WebHome]]process
		8	* [[CEC Certificate Extension>>doc:.C0660 - Certificate Extension - Guidance.WebHome]] process
		9
		10	The two processes are described below:

		12	= CEC Certificate Renewal process =
		13
		14	The CEC Certificate Renewal process is the default process to extend the validity of a CEC Certificate.
		15
		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 months.
		17
		18	= CEC Certificate Extension process =
		19
		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.
		21
		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 months.
		23
		24	The CEC Certificate Extension process is only available under certain conditions:
		25
		26	* The CEC Certificate the Vendor requests the CEC Certificate Extension for, has either been:
		27	** Initially granted less than 12 months ago, or
		28	** Renewed less than 12 months ago as the result of a CEC Certificate Renewal process;
		29	* The Vendor confirms that the product and the site listed on the CEC Certificate are substantially unchanged since the lastest CEC (re-)Assessment;
		30
		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.
