Understanding Our Certifications

Our certifications represent more than just credentials—they demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards and ensuring that every inspection is performed with precision, accuracy, and complete regulatory compliance.

API Certification Excellence

The American Petroleum Institute (API) certifications are the gold standard in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. Our API 653, API 570, and API 510 certifications demonstrate that our inspectors have met rigorous education, experience, and examination requirements established by the industry's leading authority.

These certifications require extensive knowledge of codes, standards, materials, welding, corrosion, inspection techniques, and safety procedures. Our certified inspectors undergo continuous education and recertification every three years to maintain their credentials and stay current with evolving industry practices and regulatory requirements.

With API certification, our inspectors are authorized to make critical decisions regarding the fitness-for-service of industrial assets, approve repairs and alterations, and ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards. This authority comes with significant responsibility, which we take seriously in every aspect of our work.

API 653 Tank Inspector Responsibilities

  • Perform comprehensive internal and external tank inspections according to API 653 standards
  • Evaluate tank integrity and determine fitness-for-service based on corrosion rates and damage assessment
  • Approve repair procedures, materials, and techniques for tank maintenance and reconstruction
  • Establish appropriate inspection intervals based on service conditions and regulatory requirements

ISO/IEC 17020:2014 Compliance

Our ISO/IEC 17020:2014 certification as a Type A inspection body demonstrates our independence, impartiality, and technical competence. This international standard ensures that our inspection services are performed according to established procedures and quality management systems.

Type A inspection bodies like ours are completely independent from the organizations whose installations, products, or services they inspect. This independence ensures objective, unbiased inspection results that clients and regulatory authorities can trust.

Continuous Professional Development

Maintaining our certifications requires ongoing commitment to professional development and education. Our team regularly participates in industry conferences, training seminars, and certification renewal programs to stay current with evolving technologies, regulations, and best practices.

We invest significantly in continuing education because the industrial landscape is constantly evolving. New materials, inspection techniques, regulatory requirements, and safety protocols emerge regularly, and our team must be prepared to incorporate these developments into our service delivery.

This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that our clients benefit from the most advanced inspection techniques, the latest regulatory knowledge, and the most effective approaches to asset integrity management available in the industry today.
