The petrochemical, oil, and gas industry is one of the sectors most exposed to catastrophic risks. When oil and gas are mishandled or not properly managed, they can cause significant harm to the environment and to people.

Therefore, to effectively manage risks within the oil industry supply chain, ISO 29001:2020 is considered the most powerful tool.

What is ISO 29001?

ISO 29001:2020 is a Quality Management System standard specifically developed for the oil and gas industry. This standard specifies requirements for quality management systems for organizations supplying products and services to the petrochemical, petroleum, and natural gas industries.

ISO 29001 is the direct result of cooperation between the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the international petrochemical industry. It places particular emphasis on the oil and gas supply chain.

ISO 29001 is built on the foundation of ISO 9001 and incorporates additional requirements that emphasize the prevention of waste and risks, as well as reducing variability from service providers.

• Manufacturers of equipment and materials used in the petrochemical, petroleum, and natural gas industries within the supply chain
