Validity Period

Standard Duration

When you get CLS certification, you know how long it lasts. Most companies, like Marsky, make it last for one year. This means your certification is good for 12 months after you get your report. You can use this time to show your clients or partners that you meet quality rules.

Note: Each CLS certification you get is good for one year. If you use quality inspection service or container loading supervision for different shipments, each report has its own start and end date.

You should always look at your certificate for details. The expiration date helps you plan when to renew. This way, you do not miss any time in your records. Many companies use reminders or calendars to help them remember to renew on time.


Start Date

The start date for your CLS certification is very important. It shows when your certification begins. For Marsky, the start date is the day you get your report or certificate. You can see this date on your paperwork.

  • The start date is on the first page of your report.

  • The end date is usually right next to it, so you can see both dates easily.

If you order more than one service, like quality inspection service and container loading supervision, each report has its own start date. Always use the date from your newest report to check your current certification.

Tip: Set a reminder when you get your CLS certification. This helps you stay on track and renew on time.

When you know both the standard duration and the start date, you can keep track of your CLS certification better. This helps your business run well and makes sure you follow all the rules.


CLS Certification Renewal

Renewal Steps

There are easy steps to renew your CLS certification. First, look at your certificate to find the expiration date. This tells you when to start renewing. Next, collect all the papers you need. You may need old reports, proof of quality inspection service, and any new business details. Marsky gives simple steps on their website to help you.


Fill out the renewal form with the right information. If you used container loading supervision or other inspection services, add those records too. These records show you follow quality rules. When you finish the form, send it to Marsky or your provider. You might have to pay a fee for renewal. Always keep a copy of your form for your own records.

Tip: Check your papers again before sending them. This helps you avoid problems or delays.


Renewal Timing

Start renewing early so you have enough time. The Laboratory Field Services (LFS) page says it takes 60 to 90 days to renew CLS certification. So, do not wait until the last minute. If you start three months before your certificate ends, you have enough time.


You can use your phone or a calendar to set a reminder. This helps you remember when to start. Marsky says to begin as soon as you get your reminder notice. If you renew on time, you will not have any gaps in your certification. This helps your business keep running and shows clients you meet quality rules.

Note: Renewing your CLS certification on time helps you keep trust with your partners and clients.


Expiration and Aftermath

After Expiry

When your CLS certification ends, you do not have proof you meet safety rules. Employers and clients check if your certification is still good. If it is not, your job may change in some ways.

  1. Employers want you to have a valid certification for safety.

  2. Many companies give you 30 days to renew your CLS certification. You can finish the renewal steps and pay fees during this time.

  3. If you miss the 30 days, you might need to take the exam again.

  4. Employers might give you less work until you renew your certification.

  5. These rules help companies follow safety laws.

Note: Marsky and other providers say you should watch your expiration dates. This helps you keep your certification and your business running well.

Employers also check when certifications end to make sure everyone follows the rules. Some companies help by giving group training for renewals. If your certification ends, you might not be able to do some jobs until you renew.


Non-Renewal Options

If you do not renew your CLS certification, you have some choices. You can stop using the certification for your job or business. This means you will not have proof of quality inspection service or container loading supervision for your shipments.

  • You might choose to use other services, like supplier audit or lab test service, if they work better for you.

  • Some people wait and get a new certification later. If you do this, you must meet all the new rules and maybe take the exam again.

  • Without a valid certification, you might lose your job or get suspended. Employers often give you less work to keep things safe.

Tip: Always look at your choices before letting your certification end. Keeping your CLS certification up to date helps your business stay strong and trusted.
