The six-year period begins on the execution date of the entity’s first contract for
any validation or verification under this subarticle and ends on the date the final
verification statement is submitted. The six-year limit does not reset upon a
change in ownership or operational control of the entity required to contract for
validation or verification services.
If the entity is required or elects to contract with another verification body or
verifier(s), the entity may re-engage the previous verification body or verifier(s)
only after three years, except in the case of a set-aside of a validation or
verification statement as specified in section 95501. An entity required to
contract for validation or verification services must, in time for the next
verification, replace a verification body that has a suspended or revoked
Executive Order pursuant to MRR section 95132(d), and included by reference in
section 95502(a).

§ 95501. Requirements for Validation and Verification Services.
Validation and verification services must be performed by verification bodies accredited
by the Executive Officer; in addition, such services must meet the following
requirements (the general term “verification services” includes validation services for
fuel pathway applications unless otherwise provided):
(a) Notice of Verification Services. The verification body must submit a notice of
validation or verification services to the Executive Officer.
For verification bodies, the notice must be submitted to the Executive Officer
after the Executive Officer has provided a determination that the potential for a
conflict of interest is acceptable, as specified in section 95503(e), and that
verification services may proceed. The verification body may begin services for
the entity required to contract for verification services after the notice is received
by the Executive Officer, but the verification body must allow a minimum of 14
calendar days advance notice of the site visit unless an earlier date is approved
by the Executive Officer in writing. In the event that the conflict of interest
statement and the notice of verification services are submitted together, services
cannot begin until ten calendar days after the Executive Officer has deemed
acceptable the potential for conflict of interest as specified in 95503(e).
The verifier’s notice must include all the following information:
