The Effect on the Time Limit Stated

Where the organisation requests identity verification, it states how this affects the time limit for responding.

Criterion: C4
Level: Level 2
Domain: Identity Verification
Reflects: Article 12(3)

Intent

A request for identity documents can change the date the response is due. Unsaid, the person counts from the wrong day.

How to test it

An assessor scores the criterion against a single response:

Score 2: The organisation said how the verification request affects the time limit, such as that the month runs from when it receives the documents.
Score 1: The organisation said the time limit was affected without saying from when it now runs.
Score 0: The organisation said nothing about the effect on the time limit.
Not applicable: The organisation did not request identity verification.

The law it reflects

This criterion reflects Article 12(3) of the UK GDPR. That mapping is a guide, not a legal test: conformance is judged against the criterion, not the article.

See C4 in context in the full standard.
