Why 30, 7 and 1 day
Thirty days is enough to book most engineers or assessors. Seven days and one day are backups if the first alert was ignored or the appointment moved. That pattern matches how people actually miss dates — not a single alarm on the morning of expiry.
Reminders are not compliance
A reminder does not make an expired certificate valid. It only reduces the chance you discover the problem after the date. Always verify extracted dates against the document.
