What is PESO Certification?
PESO Certification is a mandatory safety approval issued by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO), functioning under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry. PESO regulates equipment, storage, handling, and transportation related to petroleum, explosives, compressed gases, and hazardous substances to ensure operational safety and regulatory compliance across India.
Manufacturers, importers, and industrial users must obtain PESO approval before manufacturing, importing, or deploying regulated products in hazardous areas. The certification process involves rigorous technical scrutiny, design review, and safety evaluation to prevent industrial hazards and explosions.
At Eminence Global Compliance Group, we simplify the complex PESO licensing journey. From evaluating IECEx/ATEX test reports and technical drawings to managing authority representation and factory/site audits, our compliance experts ensure your products meet Indian safety standards without costly delays.
