The Oil & Gas industry is one which has impacts on the environment and consumes natural resources. Because of this, it becomes crucial for companies who operate within the Oil & Gas sector to comply with regulations and standards, with reducing environmental impact in mind. Additionally, customers also often require assurance that their suppliers are taking steps to reduce impacts while maintaining a high quality of products. As a result, the certifications an Oil & Gas company has are crucially important. Having certifications will build better relationships with suppliers, customers and stakeholders.

FAQs
It is not a requirement for Scientific companies to be ISO certified. Despite this, the end user of the product or service may require you to be certified. Therefore, for the sake of tenders, it can be best practice to at least be ISO 9001 certified.
As above, ISO 9001 certification is the most popular standard within Professional, Scientific & Technical Activities companies. This is the quality management standard which ensures a solidified framework for effectiveness of products. Additionally, ISO 27001, the Information Security standard can also be applied to this sector. This can provide your company with the ideal framework to set the control measures and objectives needed when introducing a new or improved ISMS. Finally, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 can also be applied, however these tend to be industry specific.
We have developed two pathways for ISO certification. Internally managed and supported by consultancy. This means that you can achieve certification in whichever way suits your company and current Management System. Our consultants have extensive experience in the ISO world and will be there to support you through the ISO journey. All requirements of the ISO standard will be in place and thoroughly checked prior to your external assessment.
The Cost of consultancy is very much dependent on the size and scope of your company. We will always offer a free visit to assess your company’s requirements and provide a no obligation quote based on this initial assessment together with an estimated completion date.
If we implement The Titan System, we will set up a fixed monthly subscription fee on a flexible rolling contract. Prices for both are available on request here.
