The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) is compulsory in the nation to control the safety, regulationand legal requirements & legality of transportation of petroleum products in India. One of the important mandates of the company is the authorization and monitoring of workshops that engage in the construction of petroleum road tankers. These are specialty vehicles whose purpose is to convey highly explosive and lethal petroleum products for which they must be constructed to meet very high safety standards. As a legal necessity, it is also necessary to gain the approval of the Petroleum and Energy Safety Organization PESO for such workshops to guarantee that these tankers are constructed to avoid such mishaps as leakage, explosion, or accident along the delivery channels.
This approval procedure entails the technical checks on the aspect of workshop competency, safety features, quality assurance and conformity to the set safety standards of the country and /or the international set specifications. The organizations interested in obtaining PESO certification have to provide certain documents, such as technical plans, safety and health reports and responsible individuals. Such standards, say of PESO, are used to ensure that fabrication of Petroleum Road Tankers is undertaken in a way that protects the lives of the workers, the public, and the environment. It also validates workshops, thus increasing business opportunity to grow through employing standard safety and operational measures.
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.
Understanding the benefits is crucial for workshops aiming to enhance their operational standards and secure their position in the competitive market.
To obtain PESO Approval for Workshops for Fabrication of Petroleum Road Tankers in India, certain steps need to be followed to get through various safety and environmental issues in the country. Here’s a step-by-step procedure:
Typical documents include:
To obtain PESO approval of the workshop for the fabrication of pressure vessels, the following documents are typically required:
The government fees for a Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization (PESO) license are:
Note: Note: Professional fee charges for PESO license is ₹49,000
A PESO approval of the workshop for fabrication of pressure vessels can be obtained from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO), and this license is issued for a period of 3 years and can be renewed every 3 years. The renewal application has to be made in the manner as prescribed under Rule 165 of the Explosives Rules, 2008.
Getting approval from the PESO authorities is highly important before engaging in the fabrication of pressure vessels since it assesses whether all standards when it comes to handling most hazardous materials like gases and liquids under pressure are met. Before an inspection is carried out and necessary papers are presented, safety measures need to be put in place. Obtaining a PESO license provides more operational safety, legal protection, and new ideas for business development. It is issued after rigorous assessment and is valid for three years, but renewable. The fees for the issue of this license as well as the renewal fees are arranged in a manner that will ensure that all facilities handling pressure vessels undertake safe and efficient practices from a legal perspective.

PESO approval is the authorization specifically issued by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization authorising pressure vessels to handle and store gases or liquids under pressure without compromising on safety or quality as per Indian laws.
This approval of pressure vessels for use helps to eliminate accidental hazards, for example, leaks, explosions, or any other dangerous occurrences because the vessels were constructed under the right safety standards. They must do so because it is also the law that a manufacturer has to provide compliance.
The process is proposed based on the application, either done online or by filling out a physical form accompanied by the relevant documents, and the last step is the physical inspection of the submitted application by officials from PESO. As soon as all the safety measures as emanated from the foregoing subsection have been ratified and authenticated, the PESO license is granted.
A PESO license for transporting compressed gas is valid for three years, and it is renewable after every three years, depending on the guidelines of the Explosives Rules, 2008.
