06.API certification

The API, which stands for the American Petroleum Institute, was created in 1919 as an organization tailored to the industry's characteristics and needs.In 1924, API specification was established to guide the production of oil industry related products.API specifications formulated by the API organization have been widely adopted by countries around the world due to their advanced nature, versatility, safety and the growing influence of the American oil industry in the world.

API standards mainly prescribe equipment performance and sometimes include design and process specifications. The standard formulation area includes petroleum production, refining, measurement, transportation, sales, safety and fire protection, environmental regulations, etc. Its information technology standards include EDI for oil and gas industry, communication and information technology application, etc.

API enjoys a high reputation in the United States and around the world. It is recognized by the U.S. department of commerce and the U.S. trade commission as a certification body for petroleum machinery.The technical standards of petrochemical and oil extraction machinery formulated by it have been adopted by many countries. When oil companies from many countries in the Middle East, South America and Asia bid for petroleum machinery, they generally require products bearing API marks to be eligible to participate in the bidding.Therefore, with the API logo of petroleum machinery equipment is not only considered to be reliable quality and advanced level, the product into the international market for users to accept and trust.
