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 or Verifier must complete the Higg FEM Registry for Repeat FEM Verification form here so that there is a record of this: https://www.sumerra.com/programs/sac/sac-fem-verification-program/fem-repeat-request/
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.
