Background on API Standards Program

The API Standardization Department was formed in 1923, with the first API standard published the following year on drilling threads.

All industry segments now active in standardization:

• Exploration and Production• Pipeline Transportation• Refining• Marketing

999

API Standards

• API now publishes more than 600 technical standards covering all aspects of the oil and natural gas industry

• Foundation of Self Supporting Programs

• Basis for Worldwide Operations

• Core of Institute’s Technical Authority

101010

Standards Development Process• The API Standards program is accredited by

the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) – the program was reaccredited by ANSI in Oct. 2011 following a 2010 audit.

- Openness, Balance, Consensus, Due Process - Regular program audits (conducted by ANSI)

• Transparent process (anyone can comment on any document in process)

- All comments must be considered

111111

• Developed by consensus (does not mean unanimity)

• Committee balance between users/owner operators, manufacturers and contractors/consultants

• Standards developed using ANSI approved API Standards Development Procedures (available on-line at www.api.org)

• API corporate membership is not a requirement for participation on API standardization committees.

• Support from your management to participate is.

Standards Development Process

121212

Use of API Standards• “De facto” international standards

• Adoption by reference common by State and Federal agencies – BSEE, USCG, DOT, OSHA and EPA

• API does not promote adoption - prefer voluntary use

• Written for flexibility as performance based documents

343434

API Comments to DOT - PHMSA Background:

The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113; March 7, 1996)

Directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards and design specifications developed by voluntary consensus standards bodies - i.e. API

Instead of government-developed technical standards,

353535

API Comments to DOT - PHMSA • API believes the intent of the law clearly

applies to new and revised consensus standards.

• So….API submitted specific comments October 15th on the PHMSA proposal to not reference the current editions of:

• RP 1162, Public Awareness Programs for Pipeline Operators, and

• Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (New Sec. 6.4.2, Inspection Intervals)
