a. For participants who successfully complete the SART -H or SART -N training before the 10 September 2026 , their SART Training Records will be given an expiry date aligned to their valid ART or ART -R record. The validity dates will be aligned monthly . b. For WINDA profiles with a legacy SART -H and SART -N Training Record and a valid ART -H/ART - HR or ART -N/ART -NR, SART Training Records will be updated with an expiry date aligned to your latest expiring ART or ARTR Training R ecord.

These steps ensure that at the end of the 6-months grace period, all participants will have a valid ART Training Record with a validity date pertaining to a training that was completed within 24 months prior to the 10 September 2026 .
