ISO/TS 29001
What is ISO/TS 29001?
ISO/TS 29001:2003 provides additional requirements to quality
management system
standard
ISO 9001:2000 specifically intended for the petroleum,
petrochemical and natural gas industries.
The standard is available for use by:
- manufacturers of oil and gas industry equipment and materials,
upstream and downstream
- service providers to the oil and gas industry
- purchasers of equipment, materials and services.
Benefits of ISO/TS 29001
The oil and gas industry handles hazardous fluids and gases
through a variety of processes. Considerations of the safety of
personnel and the public are of primary importance. Additionally,
protection of the environment and of business continuity
(maintenance of revenue streams, for companies and national
economies) need a high level of operational integrity. ISO/TS
29001:2003 incorporates the requirements
of ISO
9001:2000 and includes detailed, sector-specific requirements
for design, development, production, installation and service of
products.
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.
