This standard defines the requirements of the quality management system for the design, development, production, installation and service of the product in the oil, petrochemical and natural gas industries. This standard, which is a direct result of a partnership between ISO and the international oil and gas industry led by the American Petroleum Institute (API), focuses specifically on the oil and gas supply chain.

This standard is based on ISO 9001 and defines complementary requirements with an emphasis on preventing pollution and reducing waste in providing services. Also, this standard causes global coordination and guarantees the quality of supply of goods and services from suppliers. This standard is useful for all organizations that operate in the supply chain of the oil and gas industry. Obtaining ISO TS29001 certification guarantees standardization and improvement in this sector.
