COLAs Online makes it easy for you to apply for a Certificate of Label Approval/Exemption (COLA) for your product. Once you have registered, just follow the instructions and prompts for submitting your online application. In most cases, once your application is submitted electronically, you're done. There are no forms to sign and… there is no fee to apply!
