(10)The business activity of a SIPS may fluctuate over time. In order to ensure the integrity of the SIPS identification framework, while as far as possible maintaining continuity and avoiding frequent reclassifications of payment systems, a payment system ceases to be identified as a SIPS if it does not meet the criteria for identification as a SIPS in two consecutive verification reviews. However, maintaining the SIPS status over such a period of time may not be appropriate if it is unlikely that the system would fulfil the criteria qualifying it as a SIPS in the next verification exercise. Consequently, the possibility of an earlier reclassification based on a case-by-case evaluation is also possible.
