The QAP designation enhances vehicle modification and adaptive equipment installation in a manner consistent with the highest standards available in the industry. It binds dealers to industry best practices, an in-house crash testing program and proven shop practices that assure the highest level of performance and safety. That kind of work, that kind of care, that kind of integrity are what establish customer trust, and customer trust is a key to business success. All QAP Dealers have proven their ability for quality by virtue of successfully navigating the QAP process.

Dealers who participate in the QAP are held to extremely high standards:

1. They are required to maintain four types of insurance for liability purposes.
2. They need to have certified welders on hand if they perform any type of structural modifications to vehicles.
3. These dealers are also required to have their technicians certified in the equipment they sell, install and service. They must keep records of all adaptive work.
4. Tthey are required to undergo an inspection and audit process at least annually by an independent engineering firm to ensure compliance to the NMEDA Guidelines and the requirements listed above.

NHTSA is the federal government agency with the authority to regulate the manufacture of automotive adaptive equipment and modified vehicles used by persons with disabilities.

Certain motor vehicle repair businesses make significant modifications to vehicles specifically to accommodate persons with disabilities. Businesses that do so generally need to assure that the vehicle continues to comply with the FMVSS except under specified circumstances identified in 49 CFR Part 595, Exemption From the Make Inoperative Prohibition. Modifiers that use these exemptions must affix a label to each affected vehicle stating that it may no longer comply with all FMVSS, and must identify themselves to NHTSA. This database contains selected information submitted by those businesses to us. NHTSA does not approve motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment items, nor does the agency endorse any commercial products or vendors.
