In lending , pre approval has two meanings 1. The first is that a lender, via public or proprietary information, feels that a potential borrower is completely credit worthy enough for a certain credit product, and approaches the potential customer with a guarantee that should they want that product, they would be guaranteed to get it. This rarely happens in the financial services industry, and when it does happen, it is usually loaded with fine print that is not immediately disclosed. Usually, what happens is pre qualification , instead. 2. The second meaning has to do with mortgage lending. People interested in buying a house can often approach a lender, who will check their credit and verify their income, and then can provide assurances they would be able to get a loan up to a certain amount. Buyers can then get a letter of pre approval from the lender, and when shopping for a home can have possibly an advantage over others because they can show the seller that they are more likely to be able to buy the house. Note that a pre approval letter from a lender is not a guarantee from the lender that a loan will be provided. ref http homebuying.about.com cs mortgagearticles a loanterms.htm Getting Pre Approved for a Mortgage Pre Approval vs. Pre Qualification Bot generated title ref References reflist See also credit finance Credit Mortgage loan Category Finance ... more details
Premarket approval PMA is the Food and Drug Administration United States U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA process of scientific and regulatory review to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Class III medical devices and is significantly different from the Premarket Notification process known as 510 k Section 510.28k.29 and the device approval process 510 k . Class III devices are those that support or sustain human life, are of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Due to the level of risk associated with Class III devices, FDA has determined that general and special controls alone are insufficient to assure the safety and effectiveness of class III devices. Therefore, these devices require a PMA application under section 515 of the FD&C Act in order to obtain marketing clearance. Note that some Class III preamendment devices may require a Class III 510 k . ref http www.fda.gov MedicalDevices DeviceRegulationandGuidance HowtoMarketYourDevice PremarketSubmissions PremarketApprovalPMA default.htm ref Device classes Class I Must only follow FDA general controls, no 510 k or PMA needed. ref http www.accessdata.fda.gov scripts cdrh cfdocs cfCFR CFRSearch.cfm ref Class II Use the 510 k process which uses a pre existing similar device in the market called a predicate device for comparison.

Listing and approval use and compliance is the activity of adhering to all the requirements of installing or using safety related products and items in conformance with an active certification listing or approval that has been issued by an organisation that is accredited both for testing and product certification , such as those issued by Underwriters Laboratories , FM Global , http www.amnucins.com American Nuclear Insurers , or the Deutsches Institut f r Bautechnik DIBt . In concept, if a safety related item, such as a fire door or a fire extinguisher , or a toaster is used in the same manner as the listing or approval states, and conforming to the intent of he associated testing, then use of the component or system complies with the listing. The listing or test is often cited by a regulation, such as a building code or a fire code, and as such is made law. This concept is known as bounding in the nuclear industry. Products whose use is not mandated by any building code s or fire codes often lack a consensus test method. Unless there is a test standard in existence to prove the functionality and reliability of such a product, there can be no certification listing. Governmental accreditation of laboratories National, governmental accreditors, such as Germany s Deutsches Institut f r Bautechnik or Canada s http www.scc.ca SCC Standards Council of Canada can accredit laboratories, meaning that such laboratories must conform to national standards and rules of conduct in the discharge of their duties. Compliance is routinely tested by the accreditor through inspections, where random client files are audited to see that the laboratory followed all appropriate procedures.

By the end of 2007, all grocery stores , discount stores , and online pharmacies that accept FSA debit cards must have an IIAS by the end of 2008, most chain pharmacies must have an IIAS as well.
