美國API認證
簡介該組織根據行業的特點和行業內自身的需要。在1924年制定了API規范,對石油行業相關產品的生產進行了技術規范指導。由于API組織制定的API規范以其先進性、通用性、安全性以及美國石油產業在世界范圍內的影響力不斷擴大,API規范已經為世界各國廣泛采用。因此,API組織原來意義上美國石油行業的學術組織,如今,已演變為跨越國界的石油行業權威學術組織。API認證API已發布了500多個標準。API是ANSI認可的標準制定機構,其標準制定遵循ANSI的協調和制定程序準則,API還與ASTM聯合制定和出版標準,此外,API積極參加適合全球工業的ISO標準的制定工作,是ISO/TC 671SC9井口設備和管線閥門的秘書處。API標準應用廣泛,不僅在國內被企業采用和被美國聯邦和州法律法規以及運輸部、國防部、職業安全與健康管理局、美國海關、環境保護署、美國地質勘查局等政府機構引用,而且也在世界范圍內被ISO、國際法制計量組織和100多個國家標準所引用。API標準主要是規定設備性能,有時也包括設計和工藝規范,標準制定領域包括石油生產、煉油、測量、運輸、銷售、安全和防火、環境規程等,其信息技術標準包括石油和天然氣工業用EDI、通信和信息技術應用等方面。API在美國國內以及在世界其他國家都享有很高的聲望,它是美國商業部和美國貿易委員會承認的石油機械認證機構。它所制定的石油化工和采油機械技術標準被許多國家采用,中東、南美和亞洲許多國家的石油公司在招標采購石油機械時,一般都要求佩有API標志的產品才能有資格參加投標。因此,擁有API標志的石油機械設備不僅被認為是質量可靠而且具有先進水平。到2013年4月,在包括勘探和生產、運輸、精煉和市場營銷等各個方面擁有來自全世界的會員。今天,API已發展成為不僅在美國,而且越來越多地成為世界石油工業活動的有機組成部分。標志意義在當今世界貿易市場上,由于采購石油設備的國際化,隨之引發了質量保證和產品責任國際化的課題。采購方(顧客)從質量保障的角度出發,普遍要求石油設備生產廠商按照API規范進行生產制造,提供使用API標記的產品,另一方面,生產廠商從質量管理,滿足顧客要求的角度出發,也普遍接受、使用API規范。在中國大陸,隨著大量外資企業的涌入和石油設備出口的需要,API規范和標準在石油設備的生產行業中得到采用也日漸增多,尤其是中國加入“WTO”后,國內制造廠商開始瞄準國際石油設備這個API認證大市場:而國際上采購商(顧客)對API會標產品充滿信任,并且中國的供應商可以在價格上更具有競爭性,因此訂購中國制造的石油設備空間就會變得越來越大。由此可見,作為一家石油設備的生產企業,越早取得API認證,給企業帶來的商機、利益和好處就越多.取得API會標使用許可證,對石油設備的制造廠商的內在意義是:1.有利于生產企業提高技術和質量水平API組織發布的54種石油設備的技術規范,對各種產品所用的材料、規格和型號、試驗、標記、質量控制、儲存和發運都作了明確的規定。這些規范充分體現了它們的合理性、先進性以及對產品安全性的要求。只要生產企業按照有關規范編制并保持相關的技術圖樣、工藝文件,并在生產全過程嚴格執行標準的要求,就能確保制造廠商生產的產品具有國際先進的水平。國際上的采購商對制造廠商有這樣的要求,而國內的客戶對制造廠商有如此的要求,也在日益增多。由此,我們不難發現:制造廠商大力推行并嚴格執行API組織發布的石油設備技術規范生產其石油設備,不僅僅有利于生產企業提高技術和質量水平,而且可以贏得國內和國外兩個市場。⒉有利于生產企業提高質量管理水平API組織所發布的質量綱要規范API Spec Q1(第八版)從系統的角度出發,對產品質量形成全過程的各種技術、管理到人員素質提出了全面控制的要求。生產石油設備的制造廠商建立和保持質量保證手冊、程序文件以及詳細的作業文件,能使各項質量活動有序地開展,使生產企業全體員工能夠有章可循、有法可依;建立并保持質量記錄,能使企業的各項質量管理體系以及與體系要求保持一致性的質量活動,可以保證企業長期穩定地生產出符合顧客要求的產品,保證企業質量管理水平在動作過程中持續得到改進,不斷得到提高,日得到完善。⒊有利于生產企業提高產品的競爭能力產品質量的提高,既取決于企業的生產技術能力,同時也取決于企業的質量管理水平。在中國,從計劃經濟向市場經濟轉軌的過程中,不僅引進投資資金;同時,還引進了國際上公認的規范、標準等等。講質量的道理已經成為普通的消費者所共識,追究**更為講究質量的顧客所推崇。顧客區分產品質量的優劣,是看一家企業是否經過權威機構的質量體系認證;更注重一家企業是否獲得了產品的認證。石油設備行業的相關企業取得了API會標的使用許可證,就是獲得了所生產的石油設備的產品認證。只有這樣,企業所生產的石油設備就能標上API的會標標志,就能獲得實際意義上的“國際通行證”, 就能在國際市場上打開產品銷路,就能贏得客戶,提高企業信譽,在激烈的市場競爭中獲得更多的商機。⒋ 咨詢服務如同ISO 9001認證一樣,API認證也是一項企業建立質量保證體系的系統工程,另外API還有其專業化的以及對石油設備的產品認證等特點,作為生產企業想要按照API Spec Q1(第八版)的要求。快捷地建立起自己的質量保證體系以及編制符合API有關產品規范的技術性文件,由經驗豐富并且是有專業水平的咨詢機構提供幫助是必不可少的。通過咨詢機構提供的服務,可以使企業在取證的過程中不走或少走不必要的彎路。產品標準ISO 9001是質量管理體系認證國際標準;而API綱要規范作為質量體系認證標準外,根據行業中申請認證的企業所生產不同的產品,API組織還制定、頒發了有關石油設備54種產品的技術規范,作為產品認證的技術標準,與API Spec Q1相配套。⑴只授予通過API認證的制造廠API認證⑵不是對制造廠的擔保⑶不是對設計的贊同⑷不是對產品的擔保⑸制造廠保證經確認的產品,每一個都符合制造時的API規范⑹API承認制造廠在遵守制定的API標準方面受到了API的信任關于取證周期6-8個月,美國石油協會在確認收到申請費一個月左右,可在API網站上看到申請廠家名字及代碼。4個月左右安排現場審核; 審核通過后,工廠根據美國的發票付現場審核費,審核后48天左右發證。流程I. 企業尋找到符合自己要求的咨詢機構,需要首先完成以下表格及文件:a.制造廠申請b.API證書協議c.取證信息表咨詢機構對企業進行培訓,內容包括:d.API規范e.文件編寫要求Ⅱ. 在咨詢機構的指導下,企業編寫文件化質量管理體系,包括:f.質量手冊g.管理程序文件h.與質量管理相關聯的其它作業文件咨詢機構負責所有文件的審核,并將《質量手冊》翻譯成英文版本企業管理者批準、發布質量體系文件企業在咨詢機構的協助下,對管理、技術及市場人員進行培訓由咨詢公司協助邀請API派評審員進行現場審核,現場審核的具體分為二步:第一步,API質量程序工作人員將按照API Q1規范的要求,以及企業申請的I產品規范。對企業的質量手冊進行格式審查。第二步,在質量手冊獲得認可之后,API將在制造廠和API都方便時安排一次現場審查,審查費由制造廠承擔。四、如現場審核過程中發現問題,企業應及時采取糾正措施,并提出預防方案。糾正措施和預防方案需要得到API審核員的再次審驗。企業通過API認證可以鞏固、完善質量體系,提高產品質量。在認證過程中,遠誠咨詢負責與API之間全部的聯系、催辦、監督、服務跟蹤及關系協調工作。企業截至2004年9月1日,中國已有293家企業通過API規范認證,這些企業的名單如下:1st Machinery Works of North China Petroleum3H (Shanghai) Petroleum Equipment Co.,Ltd.ABB Vetco Gray Petroleum Equipment (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd.Anhui Tunxi High Pressure Valve FactoryAnshan Aotong Steel Pipe PlantAnshan Dragon Pipe Industries Co.,Ltd.Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co.,Ltd.Baoji Petroleum Steel Pipe Co.,Ltd.Baoji Rigor Petroleum Machinery Co.
