API Spec Q1 is a globally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) in the oil and gas industry. Developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API), it focuses on the specific requirements for organizations involved in manufacturing, fabrication, or servicing of oilfield equipment and components.
The standard emphasizes risk assessment, design and development, supplier management, control of production processes, inspection and testing, and management of nonconforming products.
