At the kick-off meeting of the audit, the expert group clarified the scope, basis, and process of this audit, focusing on the API Spec Q1 quality management system requirements, API 5L (pipeline steel pipe) and API 5CT (casing and oil pipe) product logo certification specifications. A comprehensive inspection was conducted on key aspects such as our company's past non conformance rectification data, contract management, raw material procurement and inspection, production process control, equipment management, testing laboratory capabilities, personnel qualifications, change management, and risk management. The General Manager of the company, [Name], warmly welcomed the arrival of the audit expert group and provided a detailed introduction to the company's work achievements in quality management system optimization, special rectification of past non conformities, and standardization construction in recent years. He emphasized that the company has always regarded compliance management and quality improvement as its core development strategy, and strictly follows API international standards to carry out production and operation activities. This special rectification work involves the participation of all staff and closed-loop management to ensure that problems are thoroughly resolved.
To ensure the smooth progress of this audit work, the company has established a special audit team in the early stage and formulated a thorough audit plan. In response to past non conformities, the working group took the lead in organizing and forming a rectification list, clarifying responsible departments, rectification measures, and completion deadlines, promoting implementation one by one, and completing effect verification; At the same time, a complete set of system documents such as quality manuals, procedural documents, process specifications, and inspection reports have been comprehensively sorted and improved. Production process records have been standardized and organized, and multiple rounds of internal self inspections and special training have been carried out, laying a solid foundation for the efficient implementation of audit work.
During the audit period, the expert group adopted a combination of "document review+on-site verification+personnel interviews" to conduct a detailed and rigorous inspection of the completeness and effectiveness of our company's past non conformance rectification, the standardization of the quality management system operation, the traceability of production processes, the accuracy of testing equipment, and the professional competence of personnel. During the review process at each stage, the relevant responsible persons and jurors of the company actively cooperated, promptly answered the questions of the expert group, and comprehensively demonstrated the company's solid work in implementing API standards and rectifying problems.
At the final audit meeting, the expert group provided comprehensive feedback on the audit situation. The expert group unanimously recognizes that our company's rectification work for past non conformities is in place and has achieved significant results. The current quality management system operates in a standardized and effective manner, and the production process control of API 5L and API 5CT related products is strict. All indicators meet the corresponding API standard requirements. The on-site opinion is clear: agree that our company continues to hold API 5L and API 5CT certificates; At the same time, considering the completeness and standardization of our quality management system, we approve the addition of API Q1 certificate to our company. The Deputy General Manager of the company, [Name], expressed sincere gratitude to the expert group for their professional guidance and stated that they will take this audit as an opportunity to continuously consolidate the effectiveness of rectification, strictly follow API international standards, further deepen the construction of the quality management system, fully leverage the empowering role of API Q1 certificate, and continuously improve product quality and management level.
The successful passing of the audit and approval for the addition of API Q1 certificate is not only an authoritative recognition of our company's problem rectification effectiveness, comprehensive management ability, and technical strength, but also significantly enhances our company's qualification level and industry competitiveness, providing a more solid qualification guarantee for the company to continue expanding into high-end markets at home and abroad and enhancing customer trust.
