5、promote the interests of the petroleum industry and to encourage the development and dissemination of petroleum technology. Since 1924, API has been the leader in developing voluntary industry standards that promote reliability, efficiency and safety through the use of proven practices. The API Stan
6、dards Program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the authority on U.S. standards, and undergoes regular program audits to ensure it meets ANSIs Essential Requirements of openness, balance, consensus and due process. This is the same body that accredits programs at sev
7、eral national laboratories. APIs standards are developed through a collaborative effort with industry experts, as well as the best and brightest technical experts from government, academia and other interested stakeholders. The API voluntary standards program is a means to achieve the standards deve
8、lopment and technical cooperation objectives. The API Committee on Standardization of Oilfield Equipment and Materials (CSOEM) issues this document in support of the voluntary standards program. The Board of Directors of the API has authorized the standardization program, a program of licensing manu
9、facturers to use the API Monogram, and a program to register quality management systems. These programs have been delegated to upstream, midstream and downstream segments. Key Changes This edition of API S1 contains several changes from the previous version. The following is a list of some of the mo
10、re significant changes made in this revision: a) The API Monogram Program Board was expanded to include the duties of the API QR Technical Advisory Board. The annex describing the API Monogram Program Board was moved into the main text. The name of the board was changed to the APIQR/API Monogram Pro
11、gram Certification and Licensing Board. b) Conformance to the various normative references was clarified and material redundant between the references and this document were removed. c) Requirements for membership in the CSOEM, the APIQR/API Monogram Program Certification and Licensing Board, subcom
12、mittee, and task/work groups was clarified and expanded with clear limitations; including possible removal for non-participation. d) The forms used by the CSOEM are now found as links to ensure use of the latest version (see Annex A). e) Responsibilities of task group leaders were added. f) Responsi
13、bilities of API Staff were clarified and attendance requirements for specific activities were added. g) The process of creating SRRR for new projects was clarified and expanded. h) The color-coding annex was moved into the main text. i) International participation was encouraged and the potential us
14、e of international work groups was added. j) The annex describing the Board of Directors resolution creating the API Monogram program was removed.
