PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) is a must for the oil and gas sector in India. Formerly called as Chief Controller of Explosives (CCOE) exam. It follows the Explosives Act of 1884 and the Petroleum Act of 1934, along with other laws.
PESO Certification is a key approval from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) in India. It’s needed for companies handling dangerous materials like compressed gases and explosives. This certification makes sure equipment and storage meet strict safety rules to prevent accidents.

1. Manufacturers: Companies making hazardous substances, like gases or chemicals.
2. Importers: Importers of equipment like gas cylinders must get PESO approval.
3. Dealers and Distributors: Businesses selling hazardous substances, like petroleum or industrial gases.
4. Storage Facility Operators: Warehouses storing large amounts of hazardous substances.
5. Gas Cylinder and Pressure Vessel Manufacturers: Companies making gas cylinders or pressure vessels.
6. Explosives and Fireworks Manufacturers: Companies making fireworks or explosives.
7. Bulk Consumers of Hazardous Substances: Large users of hazardous materials, like hospitals or factories.

Step1: Document Preparation
We Collect and prepare the necessary documentation. This includes technical drawings, product specifications, and safety certifications., Etc.
Step2: Product Testing and Safety Evaluation
Products may need testing to meet PESO safety and quality standards. This includes pressure tests, durability tests, and environmental assessments.
Step3: Application Submission to PESO
After gathering all the required documents, we submit the application along with the required documents to the PESO office for review.
Step4: Review and Inspection by PESO Officials
Peso may conduct a detailed review. This can include site inspections, document verification, and technical assessments.
Step5: Approval and Certification Issuance
Upon successful review, Peso issues Certification. This approves the product or facility for safe handling and storage of hazardous materials.
PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) certification applies to a broad range of products. These involve hazardous, flammable, or pressurized materials. They must meet specific safety standards for safe handling, storage, and transportation. Below is a list of products typically requiring PESO certification.
Compressed Gas Cylinders: like LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Cylinders, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Cylinders, Industrial gas cylinders (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, acetylene, etc.) and medical gas cylinders
Pressure Vessels and Equipment: such as high-pressure storage vessels, Cryogenic vessels for liquefied gases and Storage tanks for hazardous materials
Explosives and Fireworks: such as explosives for mining and construction (e.g., dynamite, blasting agents), Fireworks and other pyrotechnics and Industrial detonators
Petroleum and Fuel Products: like petrol and diesel fuel tanks and storage facilities, Aviation fuel tanks and Oil and petroleum processing equipment
Flammable and Hazardous: Chemicals such as hazardous chemicals in pressurized or bulk storage and Solvents, paints, and other flammable materials
Portable Gas Appliances: like gas stoves and cooktops, Portable gas heaters and Other appliances using pressurized gas cylinders.
Bulk Storage Facilities: like storage units and warehouses for hazardous materials, Fuel storage depots and distribution facilities and Gas bottling plants and refilling stations.
Compressed Air Systems: like Industrial compressed air tanks and pipelines and High-pressure air systems are used in factories and manufacturing.
Battery Storage and Handling Units: (if classified as hazardous material) like large storage units for lithium batteries or other types of batteries with hazardous materials
The timeline for PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) certification varies. It depends on the product type, application complexity, and inspection needs. Complex applications or additional testing can extend the timeline. InstaCertify can help speed up the process by ensuring all requirements are met upfront.
Peso certification is crucial for the oil and gas industry. It’s needed for devices handling gases used in oil operations.
Several industries need PESO certification such as :- Explosive Manufacturing Factories Explosive Storage premises Fireworks manufacturing factories Gas cylinder filling plants Petroleum storage installation Petroleum Pipelines Petroleum service stations LPG bottling unit
Answer: Several industries need PESO certification such as :- Explosive Manufacturing Factories, Explosive Storage premises, Fireworks manufacturing factories, Gas cylinder filling plants, Petroleum storage installation, Petroleum Pipelines, Petroleum service stations, LPG bottling unit.
No, under SMPV (U) Rules, PESO licenses cannot be transferred. The new occupier must apply for a fresh license with all required documents.
The petroleum Act 1934 aims to consolidate and amend laws related to petroleum transport, storage, production, refining, and blending.
No, PESO stands for Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation. It’s a non-statutory body that regulates and administers the use of explosives in India.
Class A Petroleum refers to petroleum with a flash point below 23 Degrees centigrade.
Non-compliance can lead to delays, fines, or suspension of operations. PESO may require corrective actions to address safety risks.
The process usually takes 6–12 weeks. It depends on the product type, inspection needs, and documentation readiness. Complex applications may take longer.
