Part 1: Indicate Type of Certification

Indicate whether this is for an initial certification (first time applying) or supplemental certification, which is required every three years or whenever cigarette brand families or cigarette styles are added or removed.

Submission

Please send all your packet materials to firesafetycigarette@dhs.in.gov.

All cigarette manufacturers must renew the certification of each cigarette brand sold or offered for sale to any person located in Indiana every three years, or any time a change is made to the cigarette brand that is likely to alter its compliance with the required reduced ignition propensity standards.
