Here is what API quoted in their recent letter to me (we are in the UK):

Quote: "We will expend every effort to use a local auditor(s), in an effort to keep auditor costs as low as possible. API conducts annual full-system audits. API has auditors in United Kingdom.

Just wondering...Do any of you use this API written checklist for your own internal audits?
I made one that is just all of these clauses in excel but would rather just use what they use - it's clean, to the point.
Does API mind that you use it? Do you give them credit in some place within the QMS as authors?

We are newly monogrammed so I'm still learning the intricacies.

For a long time, many companies used it without alteration (some auditors even suggested using it) and API did not object. Recently, they decided that you have to remove their logo from it and make sure it is controlled by your document management procedure (possibly assigning it your own document number and revision number) if you do use it. If you use it without removing the logo and the auditor sees it, they will likely write a finding on it.

Hi

Anyone has the Audit Product Questions from API Monogram Auditor? If applicant apply for API Monogram 6A and 6D, we have to answer some technical questions to ensure that the facility has the capability to comply.

The basic or minimum requirements for Facility are spelled out in the API Spec. 6A.

Were you successful in obtaining the monogram license?

Were you successful in obtaining the monogram license?

Yes, I had done for a company for API 6A and 6D monogram certification project in 2016 and passed the audit with fly colour.

Good morning all - I am in the beginning stages of getting the company I work for set up to be API Certified.
Can anyone tell me if the audit form attached above has been revised since it was posted a few years ago?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the audit form has been updated. API might give it to you if you ask them for it. I don't have a copy I can post right now.

Good afternoon,
Can someone please share with me their Human Resources Procedure for an API audit. I have been placed in the Quality department to get us ready for our audit for API Q1 and we don't have a "real" Human resource procedure. Thank you so much for the help.
