API Q1/Q2 API Q1 and API Q2 are industry standards developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for quality management systems in the oil and gas industry.

API Q1: API Q1: API Spec Q1 is a quality management system specification for organizations that manufacture products or provide services in the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industry. It outlines the requirements for establishing and maintaining an effective quality management system that enhances customer satisfaction, ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, and drives continual improvement.

API Q2: API Spec Q2 is a quality management system specification specifically designed for service supply organizations in the upstream oil and gas sector. It focuses on the unique challenges and requirements faced by organizations providing services such as drilling, well construction, well intervention, production, and other related activities.

Both API Q1 and API Q2 are widely recognized and utilized within the oil and gas industry to ensure consistent quality and reliability in operations. These standards help organizations establish robust quality management systems that meet industry expectations and drive customer satisfaction.

AS9100, created by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) to promote a common QMS for the aerospace industry, is a widely recognized quality management system (QMS) standard specifically developed for the aerospace industry. It is based on the ISO 9001 standard, which provides a framework for implementing and maintaining effective quality management systems in any industry. However, AS9100 includes additional requirements and focuses on the specific needs of the aerospace sector.
