c. The department shall upgrade or downgrade the classification of a system whenever the system changes sufficiently to place it in a different classification from the one in which it is classified.
d. If licenses are reclassified by the department, subject to new classification requirements, the licensee at the time of the reclassification shall be reissued, at the time of the next license renewal, the highest license corresponding to the new classification.
