API 6AR

[PCE Eng.]

Our workshop perform inspection and maintenance, repair of valves, flanges etc following API 6A, however, we do not manufacture them. Some of my customers asking to hold API certification. My question is for our workshop what is the appropriate API certification I need? API Q1 only as I am not manufacturer? API Q1 + API 6A? OR is there any facility certification under API 6AR?

There is no monogram license for API 6AR.

API Q1 is likely the most suitable for you. You can include "Inspection, maintenance, and repair of wellhead and tree equipment" in your registration scope. You might be able to include "per API 6AR" in your scope as well - API allows this for some specs where they don't have a separate monogram license available.
