The sector-specific quality standard that positions you as a credible supplier to the petroleum and petrochemical industry.
ISO/TS 29001 specifies quality management requirements for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries — incorporating ISO 9001 with sector-specific additions developed by the American Petroleum Institute and the international industry.

- Customer focus and satisfactionImplement the customer communication, complaint handling, and satisfaction measurement processes specific to petroleum industry client relationships.
- Product and service design controlEstablish design validation, verification, and review processes appropriate to petroleum equipment and service applications.
- Measurement system analysisImplement measurement system analysis requirements — including gauge R&R — that verify the accuracy of inspection and test equipment.
- Special processes and traceabilityBuild the special process qualification, heat traceability, and material traceability systems that petroleum applications require.
The business case
ISO/TS 29001 is the recognised quality framework for the international petroleum industry — required by major operators as a supplier qualification standard.
ISO/TS 29001 satisfies both the ISO management system framework and API quality requirements — positioning you for both market segments.
Certification provides a recognised, third-party verified quality framework that reduces the frequency of customer-led quality audits.
ISO/TS 29001 is recognised in petroleum markets globally — enabling export to markets beyond the GCC where API alone may be less recognised.
The certification journey
Most firms hand you a document pack and leave. We stay with you from gap assessment through certification — and beyond.
We audit your current operations against the standard's requirements and show you exactly where you stand.
We build your management system — policies, procedures, process maps — tailored to how your business actually works.
We work alongside your team on the ground to embed the system into daily operations and train your people to own it.
We run a full internal audit cycle, close any gaps, and make sure you're ready before the certification body arrives.
We support you through the certification audit — and stay available for surveillance prep and continuous improvement after.
