ISO 29001 Certification

Quality Management Systems – Oil and Gas Industry Sector- pecific Requirements

Standard Overview

ISO 29001 is the international standard that outlines specific quality management system requirements for organizations involved in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry. It is based on ISO 9001 but includes additional requirements and best practices tailored to the design, development, production, installation, and service of products and services in this high-risk, highly regulated sector.

Originally developed in collaboration between the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), ISO 29001 provides a robust framework for reducing supply chain risk, minimizing defects, and promoting continuous improvement in the oil and gas value chain.
