Quality Assurance Certification Program
Quality Assurance Certification Program • Certification/Submission Process
Manufacturers submit Application for Certification (MAC) form with a minimum of 2 samples.
Samples evaluated in-house for specification/standard compliance (Phase I).
If samples require additional testing, they are sent to outside laboratories for testing compliance. (Phase II)
Samples are approved or rejected based on results of Phase I & II.
Identification of approved items are made with issued USMC Certification Approval Number (Sewn Label/Stamp)
Re-certification required every three years for uniform items; every five years for accessory items. For Detailed Information on Certification Procedures. Contact Ms. Shakinta Johnston at (703) 432-3313 or via Internet: shakinta.johnston.ctr @usmc.mil
