A Full Participant is a manufacturer that presents the product to CAPA for approval. Only a Full Participant has the right to affix CAPA Quality Seals to a product that complies with CAPA standards.

A Full Participant may subcontract elements of the production of a CAPA certified part, such as stamping, assembly, molding, or painting to another Full or a Limited Participant. Only a Full Participant may submit a part for CAPA approval.

A Limited Participant is a manufacturer that performs a process such as, but not limited to, stamping, assembly, molding, or painting a part intended for CAPA certification. Each aspect of a particular process must adhere to the appropriate CAPA standards. The CAPA Quality Seal may not be purchased by a subcontractor.
