Overview
For organisations working within the oil and gas industry, certification to ISO 29001 represents a significant opportunity for standardisation and improvement. First published in 2003, it was developed by ISO and the international oil and gas industry, led by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
As a leading provider of management system certification and training services, LRQA is in an ideal position to provide services to this international technical specification.
Benefits of ISO 29001
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.
