ISO 29001 CERTIFICATION SUPPORT

ISO 29001 certification for oil, gas and petrochemical suppliers

Selling into oil and gas means passing audits that are stricter than a general quality check. Operators want to see sector-specific controls, not just a generic ISO 9001 certificate.

ISO 29001 adds those controls on top of ISO 9001. We help suppliers build the system and certify it.

ISO 9001 plus the sector's requirements

The standard includes everything in ISO 9001 and then adds extra requirements aimed at the industry: tighter control over design, purchasing, production and service, special attention to product and service safety, traceability, supply chain reliability and prevention of counterfeit or substandard parts.

If you already have ISO 9001, you’re not starting again. We build on what you’ve got.

Extra things the sector asks for

  • Tighter design, development and change control
  • Stricter purchasing and supplier evaluation
  • Product and service traceability
  • Control of nonconforming product and rework
  • Management of risks related to safety and reliability
  • Prevention of counterfeit or suspect items

Who needs it

  • Equipment and component manufacturers
  • Fabricators and machine shops
  • Inspection, testing and maintenance service providers
  • Distributors and stockists of oil and gas products
  • EPC and engineering firms with supply chains

What you get out of it

  • Easier acceptance onto operators' and EPC approved vendor lists
  • Fewer supplier audit findings from clients
  • Better control of product and service quality
  • A clear step up from plain ISO 9001

Current edition

ISO 29001:2020 is the current edition. Because it builds on ISO 9001, expect it to follow the new ISO 9001:2026 in due course. We’ll flag any change as it’s announced.

Questions we hear often

ISO 29001 includes the ISO 9001 requirements, so the one system covers both.

Not by law. Many clients and EPC contractors prefer or require it for approved vendors.

No. Product-specific API certification is a separate programme.

Usually four to eight months, depending on the size of your operation.
