What is API Monogram ?API Monogram is a voluntary licensing program that facilitates the consistent manufacturing of product that conforms to applicable API Specifications. Licensed manufacturers are given the authority to apply the API Monogram registered mark to equipment that meets the requirements. To obtain and retain an API Monogram license, an organization must have a documented and functioning quality management system in place that meets both the requirements of API Spec Q1® (Specification for Quality Management System Requirements for Manufacturing Organizations for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry), and at least one of the applicable API Product Specifications. |

Eligibility Requirements for API Monogram Program
The API Monogram Program is designed to identify organizations that have demonstrated the ability to manufacture new equipment that conforms to API product specifications.
Even though subcontracting is permitted, API may perform additional audits of any primary subcontractors to ensure their compliance with applicable specifications or requirements. API may refuse initial licensing or suspend current licensing based on a facility’s level of manufacturing capability.
Prior to applying for an API Monogram License, you must first:
- Have an operational quality management system compliant with API Spec Q1 for at least four months
- Have and maintain the technical capability to manufacture products compliant with the applicable API product specification
- Perform a documented internal audit and management review according to the requirements of API Spec Q1
Design Package
Since the purpose of the API Monogram Program is to consistently, objectively, and reliably identify organizations who are capable of producing products that comply with API specifications, the organization are required to have a complete design package, as well as procedures that provide instructions and requirements on how to develop a design, unless eligible for design exclusion as per API Advisory 6 - Design and Development Exclusion.
