APIQR = American Petroleum Institute Quality Registrar.More detail is available at the API web site www.api.org. Basically they are offering dual accreditation to ISO and API Monogram Program (ISO9001/API Q1) with only one audit annually whereas normally you would require two (one per standard). Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. IP: Logged |

gmac: I am not really an expert in API topics, but trying to give some help let me give you some opinion. I have a client related to valves and is working in the monogram program that you mentioned. He has to comply with 2 main programs: API Spec. Q1 and API Spec 6D. As far as I understand Q1 is a "selection" of ISO 9001, which includes 4.1,2,3,4,5,6,10,13,14 and finally 4.15, and probably those items are not fully followed as ISO 9001 establishes. They are using (at API) the 6th. edition of Q1. The other spec (6D, is about the requirements to be fullfilled by any product using the "API monogram" and contains information about: types and class of valves, materials, Tests, identification, calibration, personnel qualification, records and storage/handling. I'm trying to get the 6D standard to have the complete information. I hope this information will give you some help. QQQQQualiman IP: Logged |

qualiman if you are sourcing API 6D you may also want tolook at the API guide to spec Q1, I believe it is free from API, this clearly shows the correlation of Q1 to ISO 9000, Q1 includes all the elements of ISO plus a little bit more. We are presently looking at obtaining licences for API 8C/4F/6A/16A/16C & 16D, which all have thier own particular requirements as regards material/inspection etc.Thanks for your reply.

gmac: I became confused when I used the checklist taken from API website, which was used to change from 5th to 6th edition of Q1. That list just mentioned the points I listed in my last post. I will try to get the official Q1 spec. I'm sure you are right and it includes all ISO 9001 chapters and a little beat more. Qualiman IP: Logged |

If you contact API direct Phone 202-682-8064 and explain you are seeking registration they will send you a package which includes API Q1 and the guide, in our case there was no charge for this service, alternatively you can request a registratin quote via the API website IP: Logged |
