Petrochemical Standards Collection

The IHS Petrochemical Industry Standards Collection brings together critical technical standards used throughout the global petrochemical industry. Companies using these standards have operations that integrate production of feed materials (crude petroleum, etc.) with refining and other manufacturing processes to produce petroleum products, petroleum-based chemicals and non-petroleum-based chemicals.

This collection includes sections of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), API Select, and industry standards from more than 25 standards developing organizations (SDOs). The contents of this collection have been selected based on extensive IHS experience in providing standards to petrochemical companies around the globe.

Users who can benefit from this collection, by function, include:

• Plant engineers
• Mechanical engineers
• Maintenance
• Quality assurance
• Safety managers
• Environmental compliance
