Scope

ISO 29001:2020 applies to product and service supply organizations to the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries and defines sector‑specific supplementary requirements and guidance to be used alongside ISO 9001:2015. The scope focuses on managing supply‑chain risks and aligning quality requirements with other industry practices and complementary standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Supplementary requirements to ISO 9001:2015 tailored for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas supply organizations.
• Risk‑based approach to product‑ and service‑specific risks across the supply chain.
• Requirements for specification and control of product and service provision, including verification, inspection and testing activities.
• Traceability, identification and control of nonconforming products and corrective actions specific to sector needs.
• Supplier control, procurement requirements and expectations for sub‑suppliers in the oil & gas supply chain.
• Competence, documentation and configuration control for critical processes and special processes used in the sector.
• Alignment mechanisms with complementary standards and sector best practices to improve consistency across customers and suppliers.

These topics reflect the standard’s purpose as a sector‑specific management system supplement and its alignment with ISO 9001:2015.

Typical use and users

Organizations that manufacture, supply, install, service or maintain products and services for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries (including equipment manufacturers, service companies, contractors and tiered suppliers) use ISO 29001:2020 to demonstrate a consistent, sector‑specific QMS that addresses industry risks and customer expectations. Regulators, certification bodies and large operators may reference the standard in procurement and supplier performance requirements.

Related standards

ISO 29001:2020 is explicitly written to be used with ISO 9001:2015 and replaces the earlier technical specification ISO/TS 29001:2010. An amendment addressing climate action changes (ISO 29001:2020/Amd 1:2024) has also been published. Users commonly reference ISO 9001:2015 alongside ISO 29001 for full QMS implementation.
