ISO 29001 is the quality management system (QMS) standard for oil and gas. It builds on ISO 9001 with additional requirements specific to petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. ISO 29001 provides a valuable opportunity for organisations operating in these areas to standardise their QMS and get ahead of it becoming the common basis for worldwide oil and gas industry QMS requirements, and to implement a culture of continuous improvement that focuses on the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain, demonstrates commitment to quality, and helps secure new business contracts.
Best practice
It is envisaged that ISO 29001 will become the common basis for the industry’s quality management systems requirements worldwide. This will help reduce or eliminate multiple assessments. This provides additional benefits in the reduction of disruption to the business, associated paperwork and costs.
Competitive edge
Increasingly, organisations within the supply chain will need ISO 29001 certification to demonstrate their commitment to quality, helping secure new business contracts.
Continual improvement
Certification to ISO 29001 provides continual improvement; emphasising defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain, including those from service providers.
