ISO 29001 - Petroleum, Petrochemical, and Natural Gas Industries

ISO 29001 is a sector-specific quality management standard for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. Based on ISO 9001:2015, it adds extra requirements to address industry-specific risks, safety needs, and complex supply chains. It applies to organizations involved in design, production, installation, and service for oil and gas operations.

Implementing ISO 29001 helps improve quality, safety, risk management, and operational efficiency, while reducing defects, waste, and non-conformities. Certification enhances customer confidence, supports regulatory compliance, improves competitiveness, and is often required to secure contracts and access
