    Note

    Lifecycle timelines:

    • Validation: Validated listings enforce a strict one-year validity period. If you do not achieve full certification within one year, the system automatically delists the product from the public catalog.
    • Certification: If you successfully certify your product, the certification is valid for one year. You must recertify after this year. If you fail to recertify, your product is downgraded to Partner Validated status.
