Operation of the aircraft is not allowed after expiry of the Rectification Interval
specified in the MEL, unless:
a) the defect has been rectified; or
b) the Rectification Interval is extended in accordance with paragraph 8 below
Extract from CAP 549 Para 7.3
Same statement in JAR-MMEL/MEL.080 (c)
So like the service check mentioned earlier same procedure applies
