Authorized Product List(APL)�

Procedure

1. What is APL

APL is a list of products and materials the Department has verified as meeting the

requirements in the Department’s Standard Specifications. It is a part of UDOT materials

acceptance program. Listed products have been reviewed based on UDOT Standard

Specifications and can be incorporated into UDOT projects.

​

2. Why APL

​

• Standardize the reviewing process.

Submitted product is reviewed by related specification owner division and screened

by standard form. APL ensures each product goes through the same procedure and

receives uniform decision.

• Save time.

Listed products can be used by multiple UDOT projects without repeating the

reviewing process.

c. Improve quality.

Product performance is traceable.
