Is TrustPro Qualified e-Seal useful only once for your EPREL organization verification?
No, you need to use it again whatever change is made in your organization.
If the organisation is “Verified” and in the future it changes any data from “General information” (i.e. organisation name, address, etc.), that supplier will become “Unverified” and will have to run the verification process again providing a new seal that matches the new details; all its already Published models will remain visible in Public site searches, but new registrations will not appear in searches until the further verification is passed again.
