Consumer Products Subcommittee | Laboratory Subcommittee | Legal Subcommittee
The Petroleum Subcommittee both initiates and responds to industry issues regarding petroleum and petrochemical inspection services as described in Chapter 4 of the international IFIA Guidelines. The IFIA AC Petroleum Subcommittee also works closely with the Petroleum Committee of the parent IFIA organization in London.
The Petroleum Subcommittee pioneered the development of the IFIA AC Inspector Certification Program for independent inspectors of petroleum and chemicals. To become certified, a candidate must present evidence of training in petroleum industry inspection standards, safety standards, and regulatory requirements. To verify these qualifications, inspectors must complete an approved Training Record Book and pass a comprehensive written examination supervised by the Petroleum Extension Service of the University of Texas.

The Petroleum Subcommittee is active in international standards writing organizations, including ASTM, API, IP, and ISO, addressing industry concerns during the standards development process. Other issues that the subcommittee addresses include training, regulatory requirements, new member applications, the IFIA AC Regulatory Compliance Program, the internationalization of the Inspector Certification Program, and other matters affecting member companies. It also publishes Technical Bulletins and position papers on issues of interest and concern to our industry.
