• If no relevant party applies for extension, it will automatically expire upon expiration.
• If enterprises or industrial organizations apply for extension, these exemptions will continue to be valid until the evaluation results are published. If the official approves the extension application, the official will give a new period of validity; If the exemption is revoked after the assessment, 12 to 18 months will be set for the transition of industry replacement materials.
