There I find no timeframe, and the assurer does it not by himself but
the support does it on request of the assurer. So a sort of four-eyes
principle is maintained.

I think, if an assurer could change his assurance too easily would be
too misuse prone. If not an arbitrator so at least a support engineer
should double check it.

Regards, Werner
