Upgrade Your API Specification Q1 to the 10th Edition with Limra Inspection Service

Quality Management System Requirements for Organizations Providing Products for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry
10th Edition – September 2023 | Effective Date: September 18, 2024

The API Spec Q1, 10th Edition has been designed to enhance quality management systems for organizations in the petroleum and natural gas industry. It outlines fundamental quality management system requirements for any organization that claims conformity to this specification.

In this edition, the definition of “product” has been broadened — referring to “the output of an organization intended to be provided to a customer.” Unlike previous editions, which mainly applied to manufacturers or service providers handling physical products, the 10th Edition now includes a wider range of industry participants.

Organizations addressed in this edition include:

✅ Manufacturing Companies
✅ Engineering and Design Firms
✅ Physical Product Realization Providers, such as:

• Welding

• Heat Treating

• Coating/Plating

• Machining

• Inspection

• Testing

• Servicing

✅ Physical Product-Related Service Providers, such as:

• Distribution

• Logistics

• Software Development

The 10th Edition aligns with global quality management practices, aiming to reduce the risk of nonconformities. While it touches on elements like environmental, health & safety, financial, and risk management systems, it is specifically focused on quality requirements and may be used either alongside or independent of other standards.

API Spec Q1, 10th Edition can be utilized by both internal and external parties—including certification bodies—to verify that an organization can meet customer, statutory, and regulatory obligations relevant to their products and services.
