Recently, the API (American Petroleum Institute) pipe certification organized by our Technology Center has achieved satisfactory results and the company accelerated its pace in international marketing of pipe products.

This API audit is very strict compared with other certifications. After the document review, the US headquarters directly dispatched auditors to the company to inspect according the API Spec Q1 standard and the management documents of the company to carry out review on the management system. They made an on-site audit report and submitted directly to the U.S. API headquarters. The U.S. API headquarters experts ultimately decided whether to allow approval. After more than one year of certification preparation, document review, on-site audit, improvement and upgrade, Newchoice Pipe finally passed the audit and obtained the API Spec Q1 certificate.

Founded in 1919, API is one of the largest U.S. trade associations for the industry in the United States and one of the earliest and most successful trade associations in the world to formulate standards.

API enjoys high prestige both in the United States and the world. It is a petroleum machinery certification body recognized by the US Department of Commerce and the US International Trade Commission. The technical standards for petrochemical and oil production machinery established by it are adopted by many countries, and the equipment with the API mark is not only considered to be reliable in quality but also advanced.

With the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, more and more Chinese companies seek their new business growth from overseas markets and explore new markets. The industry-recognized API certification has become an important quality certification for Chinese companies to go global
