API Monogram certification

API series product Monogram certification consultation:


API is the abbreviation of the American Petroleum Institute. Founded in 1919, it is the first commercial business society in the United States. Its purpose is to contact all departments of the petroleum industry. With the development of petroleum industry, the number of petroleum equipment manufacturers is increasing, and the requirements of oil fields for equipment standardization and safety are also increasing. Therefore, in 1923, the standardization department, the first mass industry standardization organization, was established in API, which was later translated as API production department.


The first batch of API standards was published in 1924, and then increased year by year, forming the first bound edition in 1949. API has published many technical materials so far, and official publications include standards (STD), specifications (SPEC), recommended practices (RP), API Bulletin (bull) and special publications (pub SP). These specifications, circulars and recommended practices include the following: (1) belts; (2) Marine structures; (3) Cable drilling tools; (4) Derrick and support; (5) Pipelines; (6) Valves and wellhead equipment; (7) Rotary drilling equipment; (8) Lifting equipment; (9) Steel wire rope; (10) Oil well cement; (11) Oil production equipment; (12) Storage tank; (13) Drilling fluid; (14) Offshore safety and pollution prevention; (15) Plastic pipe; (16) Oil well control system; (17) Shallow water oil production system.


API standard is an internationally recognized industry standard. According to international statistics, 80% of the drilling and production equipment in the world except Russia are purchased from the United States. Therefore, the universality of API has been popularized to all countries in the world


In the increasingly competitive market, product quality is one of the important guarantees for an enterprise to survive and win the market. How to prove your product quality to domestic and foreign users without knowing you at first, and win their trust, so as to open the door of cooperation between you and users? API series product Monogram certificate can help you do it.


API consultation and certification process application and certification of API Monogram


API forensics needs to go through a procedure of application, inspection and confirmation.


a. Manufacturer application:


b. API certificate agreement


c. Evidence collection information form


d. Quality manual


e. Non refundable application fee


API certification procedure is divided into two steps: the first step is that API quality program staff will follow the requirements of apiqi specification and API product specification that the manufacturer intends to apply for. Review the manufacturer's quality manual. Second, after the quality manual is approved, API will arrange an on-site audit at the convenience of both the manufacturer and API, and the audit fee will be borne by the manufacturer.


API staff will decide whether to issue the certificate according to the objective basis obtained by verifying the compliance of API quality standards.


API certification consulting fee


API product certification and consulting fees


1、 Certification fee:


1. Application fee Directory:


4000 US dollars: the application cost of the first API product specification of the manufacturer at one site.


$2500: the application fee of the second API product specification at the same site under the premise of the same quality program.


US $1000: under the premise of the same quality program, the manufacturer shall pay the application fee for each additional API product specification at the same site after the second API product specification.


2. Membership fee:


In addition to the initial application fee, API will impose an annual fee on licensees authorized to use each API specification. Applicants who apply for the use of API Monogram for the first time will be exempted from the annual fee for the second year if the issuing date is between November 1 and December 31.


3. Certificate fee:


If it successfully passes the audit, API will issue the printed certificate to the applicant. If two certificates are required, API can provide them free of charge. Starting from the third one, you will pay $50.0 for each additional one. The certificate is valid for three years.


4. Auditors' on-site review fee: 800 dollars / person * day; The number of auditors * days shall be determined according to the size of the enterprise, and the cost includes the round-trip accommodation and travel expenses of auditors.


(all the above fees shall be in US dollars, and the handling charges and taxes of the bank shall be paid separately)


2、 Consulting fees


1. Consulting fee: the consulting workload is determined according to the product type and complexity coefficient of API certification applied by the manufacturer, and the corresponding consulting fee is charged accordingly.


(Note: the travel and accommodation expenses of consultants are generally borne by the manufacturer.)
