If a company has not submitted their initial certification audit within 6 months, they are required to submit a Request for Extension.  Extensions will be granted for no longer than 6 months.

Request for Extension can be found here

Companies will be required to submit their initial certification audit by their new deadline.

For companies that don’t submit their initial certification audit by the deadline (or by the extended deadline, if one has been given) notice will be issued. If there is no response within 45 days, their registration will become inactive. To participate in SAFE Companies, they will be required to start again with the registration process.
