RENEWAL & VALIDITY
In order to maintain EVE VEGAN certification, a renewal review must be conducted. Notice will be given 90 days before the expiration date, and written notice must be provided at least 30 days before the expiration date if you do not wish to renew.
The EVE VEGAN product certification renewal cycle is 18 months. However, if multiple products have different certification cycles, the renewal audit is conducted based on the earliest expiration date among them.
The renewal cycle of the first certified product (Product 1) is set at 18 months from the date of certification issuance. For subsequent products certified later (Product 2), their first renewal date is also aligned with 18 months from the issuance date of the initial certification.
If a product is certified within three months prior to the first renewal date (Product 3), it will not be renewed on the first renewal date, but will instead be renewed on the second renewal date.
