Qualified Products List (QPL)
formerly known as Approved Products List
The products on this list are prequalified for use on
Maine Department of Transportation Construction and Maintenance projects. Prequalifying products
is not to be construed as an official endorsement by the Department. Nor is it to be a guarantee of product performance relative to specific contract requirements or warranty. Inclusion of a product on this list does not imply that the product
meets any or all applicable State or Federal regulations related to
safety or environmental issues in effect at the time. The
manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be
referred to before and during use of any product appearing on this list.
This list is intended as an information tool for contractors, engineering consultants, and Department personnel to identify products meeting the Department's standards or specifications for particular applications. The use of any product listed on this site by a contractor shall in no way relieve contractors from their contractual obligations.
Field performance of these products will continue to be monitored. Users are entirely responsible for confirming content of this web site.

Attention
all MaineDOT field personnel, contractors, and consultants:
Please
take a moment to fill out the Product
Evaluation Report Form
and give us your feedback on products that you have used from these
lists on a project. If the product is new, the Research Division
will begin an evaluation of how that product performs over time.
If an existing product, it may either reinforce its place on the
Approved Products List or precipitate its removal...
We
need and appreciate your feedback to help make this program effective!

AASHTOs Product Evaluation Listing (APEL) - The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), maintains a database of propriety products utilized in the transportation infrastructure. The fifty (50) states, DC and PR contribute to the database from their experience with the performance of proprietary products.
AASHTOs National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) - The National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) was established in early 1994 as an engineering technical service program to pool the professional and physical resources of AASHTO's member departments to test transportation materials of their common interest.
Eastern States Consortium (ESC) -
The New England states and New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia have formed the Eastern States Consortium (ESC) to establish minimum requirements for the quality control procedures that the manufacturers of High Density Polyethylene Pipe must subscribe to in order to supply pipe to participating states. It is the intent for the States to benefit through cooperative inspection and qualification processes and for the manufacturers to benefit through having one uniform set of quality control requirements to meet for all of the participating states.
Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC) - The Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC) is a nationally recognized, first-stop service center and clearinghouse for implementing highway innovation. HITEC conducts impartial performance evaluations for market-ready products where standards or specifications do not exist. HITEC accepts both "high-tech" and "low-tech" products and/or technologies that are intended for use in any aspect of the highway community including design, construction, operation, or maintenance.
