TPV Program Application
To become HPDC-approved TPVs, organizations must demonstrate expertise and capability. Please review the application process and credentialing requirements below.
The process starts with the organization contacting HPDC to apply through an online application.
HPDC evaluates the expertise of organizations to become and remain TPVs through a rigorous application and approval process, backed up with periodic audits to ensure continued compliance overseen by HPDC staff and the HPDC Technical Committee.
Credentialing in the TPV program has two levels of requirements:
- Requirements to be met for the organization to become an “Approved Verifier.”
- Requirements for individual verifiers employed by the verifying organization.
Completion of this course is a key requirement for individuals (and organizations must ensure that individuals take part).
Upon approval by HPDC, organizations become an “Approved Verifier” and are authorized to display the HPDC logo with this designation.
Use of the HPDC Approved Verifier log is governed by federal law and requires strict adherence to these guidelines. The logo may be used in editorials, educational, training or non-promotional literature when placed spatially near/adjacent to text that describes the Health Product Declaration Open Standard. The logo may not be altered in any way, other than to adjust size, in which case the dimensions of the logo must be maintained.
