The basic requirements for receiving this award are:

1. Sustained success in launching new products over a five-year time frame.

2. Significant company growth from new product success.
This standard insures that new products that simply upgrade and replace previous company products are not considered the sole basis of outstanding performance.

This standard recognizes unique and innovative characteristics of the organization's approach to the new product development process that make it particularly suitable for the organization. It also provides for the recognition of noteworthy intangibles including the organization's culture.
