3 CEC Certificate Extensions are intended as an exceptional solution in case a CEC Certificate expires and the Vendor cannot accommodate a CEC Assessment near the time of expiry of the CEC Certificate.
4
5 A CEC Certificate Extension will only be granted subject to the following conditions:
6
7 * The CEC Certificate the Vendor requests the CEC Certificate Extension for, has either been:
8 ** Initially granted less than 12 months ago, or
9 ** Has been renewed less than 12 months ago based on the outcome of a CEC Assessment;
10 * the Vendor confirms that the product and the site(s) listed on the CEC Certificate are substantially unchanged since the latest CEC Assessment;
11 * Vendor formally requests the CEC Certificate Extension using this form.
12
13 Note that this has the consequence that a CEC Certificate Extension cannot be directly followed by another CEC Certificate Extension, 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.
14
15 Being granted a CEC Certificate Extension does not imply that the product will pass a subsequent CEC Assessment. For example a more stringent CEC Baseline may prevent renewal of the CEC Certificate in future.
