Under PESO registration, there is a need for a PESO license for products that are generally corrosive in nature. Any organization or manufacturer whose involvement is generally in one of the several categories need to obtain PESO certification under the specific forms. Different forms pertinent to specialized activity streamlines to process business’ specific rules, risks and regulations associated with each activity under each department of business operations.

Due to the mandatory nature of the PESO certificate, entities should have a complete knowledge of the products and materials. Non-hazardous products and material entities can sometimes mistakenly believe they need certificates. And in actuality, they don't require certificates.

Why is a PESO license required? 

PESO is regulated to ensure safety standard requirements for the transportation, manufacturers, and handlers of corrosive materials, as well as the storage and refinery units of petroleum and compressed gasses. This license disciplines the control of products that are hazardous in nature. 

PESO certification is necessary for items that require gas work, oil industry use, or withstand corrosive conditions.

Products Fall Under The Category PESO Certificate 

Following are the products that fall under the category of PESO certificates: 

• Storage Facilities For Gas Filling cylinders: 

PESO products include storage facilities for gas filling cylinders, whether it is with compressed gases or oxygen. The storage facility and cylinders need to be regularly inspected to identify and address any potential safety hazards. This storage facility must be designed and constructed with safety in mind.

• Long-distance petroleum pipelines: 

Long-distance petroleum pipelines are pipes that are penetrated underground to create and transport large quantities of liquid petroleum products, like crude oil and refined oils. From a large, underground tube that transports large quantities of liquid petroleum products. 

• Storage rooms for explosives: 

Storage rooms for explosives are the facilities designed for a safe and secure zone to store explosives. These rooms are made to prevent accidents, injuries, and mitigating risks from explosives. Under PESO certification, this room is undoubtedly a  product for which accidents are more likely to occur. 

• L.P.G. gas filling stations: 

LPG is a flammable gas that is generally used in most houses for cooking meals and filling vehicle fuel tanks. LPG may incorporate many risks if it is left untreated without safety measures. These include leaks, catchfires, explosions, and so on. Therefore, entities, whether they’re retailers, traders, manufacturers, or importers, are mandated to acquire a PESO certificate before the concerned operation takes place.  

• Flameproof equipments: 

Flameproof equipment, generally known as explosives-proof equipment, is patterned to operate safely in an environment where hazardous areas cause major accidents and can be prone to certain deaths. 

• Mechanical components are installed in hazardous areas: 

Mechanical components in hazardous areas—even seemingly ordinary mechanical components—can pose a significant ignition risk. In order to protect the mechanical components from ignition in hazardous areas, a PESO certificate is mandatory to ensure safety measures when a sudden accident occurs. These accidents can be caused by sparks from friction, overloading, malfunctioning, and electrical arcing.  

• Warehouses and shops for fireworks: 

Warehouses for fireworks are large establishments for wholesale and retail purposes. The warehouse for fireworks is a large area subject to large amounts of fireworks to minimize the risk of accidents. Unlike the warehouses, the fireworks shops that deal with customers directly are subject to strict norms when facilitating operations. Both of them need PESO in order to run the business operations wisely. 

• Valves, gas cylinders, and regulators: 

PESO plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of pressurized gas systems in India by regulating the manufacturing, import, and use of these components. Their approvals help to ensure that valves, gas cylinders, and regulators are designed and manufactured to meet safety standards.

• Factories for the manufacture of fireworks: 

The manufacturing of fireworks is done on a large scale. For this, factories have been set up to ensure a continuous supply of fireworks on the market. Any applicant who is in the process of starting a firework business is in need of obtaining a PESO certificate. 

• Calcium carbide storage premises: 

Acetylene gas is a highly reactive end-product that has been produced from calcium carbide at room temperature. PESO implements regulations for the safe storage and transportation of calcium carbide to minimize the risk of accidents. 

• Manufacture of Explosives at Site in Bulk Mixing and Delivery [BMD] Vehicles: 

The explosive product can be mixed and fully mechanized with a sophisticated automatic mixing and manufacturing unit in the pump truck vehicle. PESO approves the design and construction of BMD (bulk mixing and delivery) vehicles for site manufacturing and explosives. 

Which products do not fall under PESO certification? 

Following are the products that do not fall under PESO certification: 

• Non-hazardous chemical products: 

Non-hazardous chemical products are petroleum products, which are part of the petrochemical industry. However, it possesses low flammability and volatility and does not fall under the category of PESO products. 

• Chemical additives: 

Some of the chemicals that are used in processing, petroleum products, or processing petroleum products are not subjected to PESO registration. 

• Non-explosives Gasses: 

Nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases are not subject to PESO registration. However, these registrations are extended to only compressed gases that are volatile and compressed in nature. 

• Equipement Component: 

 Certain equipment used under PESO may include safety valves, fittings, and piping. It may not require individual certification like PESO, but it should meet relevant safety standard requirements. 

• Packaging materials: 

Packaging materials mean drums, containers, and packaging films that are used to safely store processed foods, raw materials, etc. that have shorter-shelf life. 

• Chemical catalyst: 

Some chemical products used to refine or process petroleum may be subject to PESO regulation due to their potential hazards. Yet, if other chemicals do not pose any kind of hazard, they’re not considered PESO products.  

• Maintenance and repair materials: 

Maintenance and repair materials are those materials that are often used to fix certain things. If they possess certain corrosive characteristics, it may be required to obtain PESO certification for maintenance and repair materials.  

• Instrumental and control systems: 

PESO is not required in the case of instrumental and control systems. Instruments, sensors, and control systems  used in the management and processes of any kind of operation are not considered under PESO regulations. 

• Safety equipments:  

Goggles, gloves, fire-extinguishers, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) kits, or safety devices do not fall under the category of PESO products. 

Conclusions 

PESO registration is vital for providing products that generally match the characteristics of hazardous or corrosive materials, equipment, and systems. It is important to note that an applicant should be sure about the products for which they are going to obtain approval for PESO certificati
