API Monogram Program—Use of the API Monogram by Licensees
A.1 Scope The API Monogram® is a registered certification mark owned by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and authorized for licensing by the API Board of Directors. Through the API Monogram Program, API licenses product manufacturers to apply the API Monogram to new products which comply with product specifications and have been manufactured under a quality management system that meets the requirements of API Spec Q1. API maintains a complete, searchable list of all Monogram licensees on the API Composite List website (https:// compositelist.api.org). The application of the API Monogram and license number on products constitutes a representation and warranty by the licensee to API and to purchasers of the products that, as of the date indicated, the products were manufactured under a quality management system conforming to the requirements of API Spec Q1 and that the product conforms in every detail with the applicable standard(s) or product specification(s). API Monogram Program licenses are issued only after on-site audits have verified that an organization has implemented and continually maintained a quality management system that meets the requirements of API Spec Q1 and that the resulting products satisfy the requirements of the applicable API product specification(s) and/or standard(s). Although any manufacturer may claim that its products meet API product requirements without monogramming them, only manufacturers with a license from API can apply the API Monogram to their products. Together with the requirements of the API Monogram license agreement, this annex establishes the requirements for those organizations who wish to voluntarily obtain an API license to provide API monogrammed products that satisfy the requirements of the applicable API product specification(s) and/or standard(s) and API Monogram Program requirements.
