The American Petroleum Institute (API) is considering the development of a sector-specific supplement to ISO 9001:2000 for the oil and gas industry. It is intended that this will be developed through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 67 for both API and ISO adoption. API intends to propose Part 1 of API Specification Q1 as a potential ISO TC 67 new work item (NWI). The API subcommittee responsible for maintaining Q1 is forming a "Task Group on Q1 Improvement" that will make recommendations to update the current API Spec Q1. The NWI will propose that the API Task Group work through ISO TC 67's Working Group 2 to achieve a final product for both ISO and API.
