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.
What is ISO/TS 29001?
ISO/TS 29001 provides additional requirements to ISO 9001 specifically intended for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries that is envisioned to become the common and unique basis for the industry's quality management system requirements worldwide.

The new technical specification is available for use by manufacturers of oil industry equipment and materials (upstream and downstream), service providers to the oil and gas industry, purchasers of equipment, materials and services and organizations who could use the standard for assessments and certification.
