How the next-due date is set

Psid advances a device’s next-due date only when a test passes, and it measures from the test date, never from the day you filed.

The rule

Pass
Next due is the test date plus the device’s test interval, which is twelve months unless you changed it on the device.
Pass after repair
Treated as a pass. The assembly ended the visit working, and the repair is kept as its own record so the history shows what happened.
Fail
Nothing is advanced. The device keeps the date it already had, which is usually already past — a failed assembly is not compliant for another year because someone looked at it.
Not tested
Nothing is advanced. A visit happened and no readings were taken; that is recorded, and the due date is untouched.

The panel names the test the date came from, so a date you disagree with is one click from its evidence.

Things it deliberately does not do

  • It does not advance on completion of a failed test, on a filing, or on a confirmation number.
  • It does not add a grace period. A device past due is past due on the day after its date.
  • It does not shift a date because a certification was renewed later — validity is always judged against the test’s own date.
  • It does not remind anyone. Psid records the date; contacting the customer is yours.

The due date is written in the same operation that completes the test, so a device can never carry a date that disagrees with its own last test.

Changing the interval

The interval lives on the device, so a site with an annual assembly and a semi-annual one keeps both right. Changing it does not move an existing next-due date; the new interval is used the next time a test passes.

Due today, past due, the next 30 days, or no due date at all — four filters on one list.
