The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) is the main regulatory agency in India for safety in storage, transportation, and use of hazardous articles commonly known as petroleum and explosives, including compressed gases and liquids. Certainly one of the significant responsibilities is providing permission for the manufacture of pressure equipment, being used for containment and processing materials under pressure for chemical processing, oil refining, and manufacturing industries, among others. In more detail, the PESO certificate is necessary for manufacturers who need to guarantee compliance with severe safety and quality requirements set by Indian legislation to create pressure vessels.
It includes an examination of the ship drawings and specifications, materials, and construction practices in relation to the national and international standards on safety measures. Types include design drawings, manuals, bills of material, certification materials, and quality assurance plans. The process involved includes submission through the online platform provided by PESO, and then inspection and testing will be done by experts who are certified by PESO. Adherence to these regulations guarantees the protection of numerous workers, the environment, as well as the operations’ efficiency. Therefore, PESO approval is a legal prerequisite to manufacturing pressure vessels but, more importantly, an essential measure in enhancing safety and reliability in industries involved in manufacturing pressure vessels.
A PESO license is an essential license needed to store, transport, use, and handle petroleum, explosives, and compressed gasses in India. The organization is under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Thus, the PESO license covers mandatory requirements for assessing safety standards laid down in the Petroleum Act of 1934, the Explosives Act of 1884, and the Gas Cylinders Rules of 2004. It is compulsory to industries, gas agencies, fuel stations, and even persons who deal in LPG, CNG, petroleum products fireworks, etc.
In order to obtain a license, one is supposed to fill out an application, in which details are entered on PESO’s official site, and these include the type of substance, facility, and measures being taken. When it comes to setup, the application is followed by inspections and approvals to ensure that setup complies with the safety standards meant to prevent risks such as fire, explosion, and harm to the environment.
Some of the major advantages that can accrue to any business enterprise, for instance, those involved in the storage, handling, and filling of hazardous products are such as:

The need for the approval of petroleum refineries by PESO to ensure that they operate safely and without violations of the law. It forces compliance with stringent safety, environmental, and legal standards regarding use of hazardous substances and conditions leading to fires and explosions. The approval process entails writing extensive reports, physical observation of the site, and amount charges. However, once this license is acquired, it will be valid for three years and have to be renewed at some point in time. The primary gains from PESO approval include safety, regulatory acceptance, environmental conservation, and efficiency, hence indispensable to the lawful and sustainable operations of petroleum refineries.

Approval of PESO helps the refinery to maintain safe operations by adherence to certain set standards in order to avoid hazards such as fire outbreaks, explosions, or polluting the environment. It also assists in the running of the refinery in the sense that it enables it to conform to national laws and avert legal complications.
The PESO license is valid for a period of three years and can be renewed for another three years depending on the discretion of authority as stated in the Explosives Rules, 2008, as per Rule 165.
The license renewal involves filing an application together with the necessary payment following the process outlined under Rule 165 of the Explosives Rules, 2008.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
