SERI  COP  Advisory  8  

 

 

Purpose  of  Advisory:  

Each  R2  certified  recycler  must  renew  its  license  yearly  by  payment  of  its  licensing  

fee   to   SERI  per   the  Code  of  Practices   (VC1).   If   the   recycler  does  not  pay  by   the  

renewal  date,  the  following  action  is  taken.    

•   SERI  will   notify   the  Certification  Body   (CB)  when  payment   is  not   received  

from  the  recycler  by  the  license/payment  due  date.    The  R2  certificate  must  

be  suspended  by  the  CB  upon  notification  from  SERI  and  effective  the  day  

the  CB  has  been  informed.  The  suspension  deadline  will  be  set  by  the  CB  in  

accordance  with  their  suspension  process.  Company  name  will  be  removed  

from  the  SERI  directory.      (Suspension  will  be  lifted  by  CB  if  license  is  signed  

and  fee  is  received  by  SERI  within  the  suspension  deadline  set  by  the  CB).  

 

•   CB  must  revoke  the  R2  Certificate  if  the  license  is  not  signed  and  the  fee  not  

received  by  SERI  within   the   suspension  deadline   set  up  by   the  CB   (not   to  

exceed  6  months  from  suspension  date).    If  a  certificate  is  revoked  and  the  

company  wants  to  regain  its  certification,  it  will  need  to  start  over  with  a  new  

Advisory  No.  8:  Past  due  license  renewals  and/or  payments
