There is not a hard standard - It depends on how much repair work your willing to accept.

Depending on the initial "qualification" procedure (compliance to which code), re-qualification may not be the answer. Additional training or possibly re-assignment may be required.

AWS specifies re-qual if longer than 6 months elapse without striking an arc in the qualified position.
