Withdrawn verifications
What Withdrawn Verifications Are
A verification can be withdrawn after it has been approved if circumstances arise that invalidate the original decision — for example, if a product is recalled, if an operator withdraws a DPP from the market, or if a regulatory authority requires a DPP to be taken down.
When a verification is withdrawn, it is removed from active publication status. The withdrawal is logged with a reason and recorded against both the DPP and the verifier's history.
Accessing the Withdrawn List
Navigate to Withdrawn in the left sidebar to see all verifications associated with your account that have been withdrawn.
What Each Row Shows
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Product | The battery product whose DPP was affected |
| Company | The operator who published the DPP |
| Reason | The stated reason for the withdrawal |
| Withdrawn date | When the withdrawal took effect |
| Successor | If the DPP has been replaced by an updated version, the successor DPP is linked here |
| Status | Withdrawn — the DPP is no longer publicly active; Re-published — a successor DPP has been published to replace it |
| Authority | Whether the withdrawal was notified to a regulatory authority (indicated by a badge on the reason column) |
Regulator-Notified Withdrawals
When a withdrawal is marked with a regulator notification badge, it means the withdrawal was reported to a relevant market surveillance or regulatory authority. These withdrawals carry additional significance for the audit trail — they indicate that the issue was sufficiently serious to require regulatory disclosure.
Re-published Successors
If an operator has published a successor DPP to replace the withdrawn one, the Successor column will link to the new DPP. The successor DPP starts as a new product requiring its own verification — your withdrawal record and the successor's verification record are separate entries in the audit trail.
Why This List Matters
Withdrawn verifications are part of your professional record. They are retained permanently and may be referenced in:
- Regulatory audits of a specific DPP or product line
- Operator inquiries about historical verification decisions
- Your own quality assurance reviews
A withdrawn verification does not reflect negatively on your work — withdrawal is typically initiated by the operator or required by an authority, not triggered by an error in your review. The audit trail shows the full context, including who initiated the withdrawal and why.
