Certification Renewal: What to Expect Each Year

A certificate is an annual license, not a trophy. Renewal is a fresh desk review, lighter than the first: you confirm or update your formulations and supplier declarations, flag any changes since last year, and the certificate rolls forward under the same number, with new validity dates that show the moment anyone checks it. Unchanged products renew fastest — the review concentrates on what moved. How V-Cert certification works end to end.
