Because there is not API 610 list pump in API website. That make me confused.

Me too. Lets be confused together as I have NO idea what you are talking about except API 610 is the standard for Centrifugal Pumps. Google is my friend.

I guess I understood what Maximiliano is asking for.

1st. No API standard is downloaded for free for the very simple reason that API standards are sold and they're not cheap. In fact, selling standards (AWS among them) is a way technical societies have to earn money and pay the expenses they have.

2nd. If I understood well, Maximiliano is asking if a pump manufacturer who makes pumps under API 610 standard is entitled to stick a Monogram on his pumps stating that the pump meets API's approval.
This I don't know. However, I suspect that in order to stick that monogram the manufacturer should pass an examination and inspection from API, which are to be revalidated from time to time.

I suggest Maximiliano to get in touch with API either by phone or a written letter and ask them. Don't send e-mails, that kind of e-mails are seldom, if ever, enswered.

Thanks for your suggestion Mr. Giovanni S. Crisi from Sao Paulo Brazil, your 2nd guess is correct..sorry about that.

If you don't mind I want ask again about the difference about COMPLY, FULLY COMPLY and ACCORDING?? Which higher level..

Because sometimes I found that statement from manufacturer of pump that their product is COMPLY, FULLY COMPLY or ACCORDING to API 610.

Max,
Your question should be answered by someone in  this Forum who has a thorough knowledge on how the authorization to use a Monograph is granted, which I don't. Sorry.
