For organisations working within the oil and gas industry, certification to ISO/TS 29001 represents a significant opportunity for standardisation and improvement. As a leading provider of management system certification and associated training services to the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, LRQA is in an ideal position to provide services to this new technical specification.

How can ISO/TS 29001 benefit my organisation?

ISO/TS 29001:2003 provides additional requirements to ISO 9001:2000 specifically intended for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries. It is envisaged that it will become the common basis for the industry’s quality management systems requirements worldwide so helping to reduce or eliminate multiple assessments with the additional benefits of reduction in disruption to the business, associated paperwork and costs.

The new technical specification aims at the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasising defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain and from service providers.
