The ISO/TS
29001 standard is based on ISO 9001, and includes supplementary requirements
highlighting defect prevention and the reduction of deviation and waste from
service providers. This standard is designed to help these organizations ensure
that they meet all requirements of customers and stakeholders. The ISO/TS 29001
was developed as the result of cooperation between the American Petroleum
Institute (API) and ISO technical committee ISO/TC 67.
The ISO/TS
29001 technical specification is intended to ensure high level development and
operation of Quality Management Systems for organizations involved in
exploration, production, pipelines and transport, refining of petroleum and
natural gas and those that provide technical and support services to these
industries. The standard provides global consistency and improved assurance in
the supply of quality goods and services and emphasizes defect prevention and
the reduction of variation and waste generated for the companies and industries
involved. The ISO/TS 29001is applicable to the following organizations:
*Organizations
involved in exploration, production, pipelines and transportation, and refining
of petroleum and natural gas products;
*Organizations
involved in the design, manufacture, installation, service and repair of
equipment used in the exploration, production, transportation and refining of
petroleum and natural gas products; and
*Organizations
that provide technical, operational and support services to the various
industry sectors identified above.
Its aim is
to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the
system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and
assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements.
All requirements of ISO/TS 29001 are generic
and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type,
size and product provided. ISO/TS 29001 was developed as a result of the need
for a more rigorous sector-specific quality management system that provides
additional assurance relating the processes of product and service suppliers.
Conclusion: With
today’s technical challenges of deeper wells, higher pressures, deeper subset
completions, greater transportation challenges, and larger refining capacities
worldwide, the industry will face increasing challenges in its efforts to
procure safe and reliable products and services. Therefore, there is a dire
need for a quality standard within the oil and gas industry across the world to
achieve a high level of operational integrity to keep operations up and running
safely. For the benefits it provides for the business and for the environment as
well, a quality standard specifically pertaining to the safety within the oil
and gas industry has been devised. Assure conformity with the organization’s
stated quality policy, Demonstrate conformity to others and Make a
self-determination and self-declaration of conformity with this International
Standard. Hence, it can be applicable in exploration, production, and transportation
and refining of petroleum and natural gas products.
