What is TC 67?

ISO Technical Committee 67 harmonizes and manages worldwide standards regarding the oil and gas industry including lower carbon energy. Its purpose is to achieve (international) conformity of oil and gas products including lower carbon energy. Members of this committee are industry professionals, from many different countries, with different professional backgrounds. They all share a common interest in the developments within the industry regarding safety, uniformity and/or the international application of their products. Together, they work on reaching common grounds where possible.

More specifically, TC 67 develops standards regarding materials, equipment and offshore structures used in drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical, natural gas industries and lower carbon energy. Excluded are:

• aspects related to the Petroleum and related products, fuels and lubricants from natural or synthetic sources being cover in ISO/TC 28; 
• aspects related to Natural gas being covered in ISO/TC 193;
• aspects related to hydrogen technologies being covered in ISO/TC 197;
