You will repeat this process to maintain accreditation if you wish to maintain your facility’s accreditation for another 3 years.
We will contact you several months prior to your 3-year accreditation end date to start the reaccreditation process.
To maintain your OTC Medical Device Distributor Accreditation status, keep these tips in mind:
OTC Medical Device Distributor Accreditation is issued for a 3-year term.
NABP requires an annual compliance review during years 2 and 3 of the accreditation process.
Prior to the end of the 3-year accreditation, you will need to start the reaccreditation process, noted below.
The reaccreditation process is similar to the initial OTC Medical Device Distributor Accreditation steps:
Apply and complete the Supply Chain Inspection.
Receive a reaccreditation letter to apply.
Submit the reaccreditation application for one or multiple accreditations with your business e-Profile account.
OTC Medical Device Distributors must begin the reaccreditation process before their current accreditation expires. We encourage facilities to seek reaccreditation for a new, 3-year period during the third year of their OTC Medical Device Distributor Accreditation.
Prior to your accreditation anniversary date (expiration date of your current 3-year accreditation), we will contact you to begin the reaccreditation process and will provide guidelines to help you with the process.
