Do NOT confuse Site Registration status with Certificate status.Note that a sites first Registration Expiry date is created when they are first Certified and is set as the same date as the Certification Expiry date. (This could be 18mths after the site has originally registered) From this point there is no relationship between the Certification and the Site Registration cycle.

  22. Site Registration & Re-Registration (ii) • Control points in place where a Sites Registration has expired • A sites certification and associated data is removed from Level 1 report and other reports • Expired sites displayed with strikethrough and access removed for the sites profile on Quickfire Office for the CB and Site users. • The sites data would also be filtered out of any reports available to users via Quickfire Web Reports.
