Question 1

What is ISO 29001?

Accepted Answer

ISO 29001 is the quality management standard for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industry. It builds on ISO 9001 and adds sector-specific controls for defect prevention and supply-chain risk.

Question 2

Who needs ISO 29001?

Accepted Answer

Contractors and suppliers to the oil and gas sector. International oil companies often require ISO 29001 for a vendor to be considered for approved vendor lists.

Question 3

Is ISO 29001 the same as API Q1?

Accepted Answer

ISO 29001 and API Q1 cover the same oil and gas quality requirements and are technically aligned. API Q1 is issued by the American Petroleum Institute; API Q1 applies to manufacturers and API Q2 to service suppliers.

Question 4

How do I get ISO 29001 certified?

Accepted Answer

IraqCert prepares your quality system to petroleum-sector requirements and arranges certification through our accredited partner network.

Question 5

What are the requirements of ISO 29001?

Accepted Answer

ISO 29001 requires everything in ISO 9001 plus stricter controls written for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas supply chain. The additions cover risk management, defect prevention, and reliability of supply, so buyers know your product or service arrives on specification and on schedule. If you already run ISO 9001, the gap is the sector-specific layer, not the whole system.
