Except under extraordinary circumstances (i.e. countries/regions where there are a limited number verifiers available), Verifiers generally should not conduct consecutive verifications. In other words, if you conduct a verification, someone else should conduct the next verification before you can do another verification at that facility.
If a repeat verification is necessary, the VB must complete the Higg FEM Registry for Repeat FEM Verification on their VB Dashboard.
Note that formal approval from the Cascale or VPM is not required and once the form is completed, the repeat verification can be conducted.
Also note that:
- VBs are expected to plan appropriately and allocate the necessary staffing resources to avoid repeat verifications to the extent possible.
- Repeat verifications may be subject to additional quality assurance checks by the VPM.
