ISO 29001:2020 Certification in Iraq – Quality Management System for Oil & Gas Industry

What is ISO 29001 Certification and Why It Matters in Iraq?

ISO 29001:2020, developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), defines quality-management requirements for the oil and gas supply chain. It extends ISO 9001 principles with sector-specific controls such as equipment traceability, supplier qualification, and operational risk management.

 

For Iraq one of the Middle East’s largest oil producers this certification is essential. It ensures that exploration, refining, construction, and service companies deliver consistent, safe, and reliable products while complying with Iraqi Accreditation System (IQAS) and international tender specifications. Since 2012, AGS IRAQ, an American-accredited certification body, has helped energy organizations in Iraq implement and maintain ISO 29001 systems with 100 % success.
