PESO Certification

LICENCE/CERTIFICATION

What is PESO Certification?

The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), headquartered in Nagpur, is the statutory authority under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, responsible for licensing and approving equipment used in the petroleum, LPG, compressed gas, and explosives sectors. PESO operates under the Petroleum Act 1934, Gas Cylinder Rules 2016, Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels Rules, and the Explosives Act 1884.

PESO approval is mandatory for manufacturers and importers of: LPG cylinders and accessories, industrial and medical gas cylinders, petroleum storage and dispensing equipment, explosives manufacturing and storage facilities, and pressure vessel equipment used in petrochemical, power, and steel industries. Products without valid PESO approval cannot be manufactured, imported, sold, or used in India — violations attract criminal prosecution and facility closure.

LPG Equipment

Domestic & commercial LPG cylinders, valves, regulators, flexible hose assemblies, manifolds — PESO Type Approval required.

Compressed Gas Cylinders

Industrial/medical oxygen, nitrogen, argon, CO₂, acetylene, hydrogen, specialty gases — PESO cylinder design approval.

Petroleum Equipment

Storage tanks, dispensers, pipeline valves, tank lorry equipment — PESO licence and inspection.

Explosives

Explosive manufacturing licences, storage magazines, blaster certifications — PESO explosives licensing.

Our Process

Product & Rule Applicability

We identify whether your product falls under PESO's jurisdiction — petroleum products, explosives, LPG equipment, compressed gases, or other statutory petroleum products — and which specific approval or licence is needed.

Technical Dossier Preparation

Complete application dossier prepared including product specifications, drawings, material specifications, testing data, safety assessments, and manufacturer details.

Product Testing at PESO Lab

Products are tested at PESO-approved laboratories for compliance with applicable standards — static pressure tests, hydrostatic tests, burst tests, flame tests, or chemical analysis as required.

PESO Application Submission

Application filed with the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), Nagpur. We handle all PESO online portal filings, forms, and fee payments.

PESO Inspection

PESO may conduct a manufacturing facility inspection to verify compliance with applicable Petroleum, Explosives, or Gas Cylinder Rules before granting approval.

PESO Approval Certificate

PESO issues the approval certificate (Type Approval / Import Certificate / NOC as applicable) for your product. Valid for the specified period and categories in the certificate.

Renewal & Ongoing Compliance

PESO certificates must be renewed periodically. FGMS tracks renewal deadlines, manages documentation updates, and ensures you are always in compliance with PESO requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) is the Government of India's regulatory authority under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry for approving and overseeing the safety of: (a) LPG cylinders, regulators, valves, and piping systems, (b) compressed gas cylinders (industrial, medical, specialty gases), (c) petroleum equipment (storage tanks, dispensing pumps, pipelines), (d) explosives manufacturing, storage, and use, (e) pipeline safety, and (f) gas torches, burners, and related equipment.

For LPG cylinders, PESO requires: (1) Type Approval of the cylinder design and drawings, (2) Inspector approval before each cylinder batch is filled and distributed, (3) Periodic hydrostatic re-testing of cylinders in service, (4) Approval of valve and regulator designs (BIS IS 8737 certification also required). FGMS manages the full PESO approval pathway for LPG equipment manufacturers and importers.

Yes. Import of any pressure vessel, compressed gas cylinder, or LPG equipment into India requires PESO's Import Certificate/NOC in addition to any applicable BIS certification. Without PESO clearance, customs will not release the consignment. FGMS manages both BIS and PESO clearances simultaneously to prevent import delays.

The Gas Cylinder Rules 2016 under the Explosives Act 1884 govern the design, manufacture, inspection, testing, filling, storage, transportation, and use of gas cylinders in India. PESO is the enforcement authority. All gas cylinder designs must be approved by PESO, and each cylinder must receive an Inspector stamp. FGMS guides manufacturers and users through full compliance with the Gas Cylinder Rules 2016.

PESO Type Approval for LPG/gas cylinders typically takes 3–6 months including document review, prototype testing coordination, PESO scrutiny, and any inspection visit. Import NOC/clearance for a single shipment typically takes 4–8 weeks from complete application submission. FGMS actively follows up to minimise processing time.
