API Spec Q1, 8th Edition

Introduction

Reva Phoenix (www.revaphoenix.com) is one of the elite organization, offering worldwide training and consultation services to learn about implementing API Quality Management System. API Specification Q1, the Specification for Quality Programs for the Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industry, gives an informative look at the requirements, interpretations, and practical applications of the quality management principles used throughout the oil and natural gas industry

API Spec Q1 outlines the requirements for a quality system that facilitates the consistent and reliable manufacture of API products. An API License is issued only after a quality manual has been submitted and approved and an on-site audit has confirmed that the applicant adheres to the requirements of both Q1 and the appropriate API product specifications. Spec Q1 is consistent with ISO 9001 and API now offers dual registration. While it is necessary to have a valid API license to apply the API Monogram, a manufacturer can produce product which meets the API requirements without the license and mark the product only with the specification designation.

API Spec Q1 is the keystone of the API Monogram Program

Every day, the oil and natural gas industry relies on equipment and products with the API Monogram to get the job done right. The API Monogram shows the world that a manufacturer is dedicated to the highest quality standards because the API Monogram Program is built around real-world standards. The key to getting the most from the API Monogram Program is to understand the nuances of its main quality system element, API Spec Q1.
