Applicants for accreditation undergo an exhaustive criteria compliance review, licensure verification, a survey, background checks and screening through the NABP Clearinghouse.
Those wholesale distributors that achieve accreditation are in compliance with state and federal laws and NABP’s VAWD criteria. Once accredited, facilities will be reviewed annually and will have to undergo a site survey every three years.
