However if a supplier member does become in engaged in the delivery of O&P
patient care in the development, research, testing, and, etc., of product(s)
they will need to comply. Is this correct?

At the present time I do not believe this is required of
manufactures/supplers in AOPA.

It might be easier to define the term O&P patient care in the statement.

Are the ABC facility standards of excellence the same as for ABC facility
accreditation?

Sorry to be the one asking the questions, but I would rather ask them now
then have to deal with bylaw changes later on.
