Standards Australia and NERA (National Energy Resources Australia) will collaborate on the development of international standards for use in the gas and oil sector.

Standards Australia has approved a proposal from NERA to establish a new Australian Technical Committee to mirror the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee ISO TC 67.

ISO TC 67 is the international standards development committee responsible for materials, equipment and offshore structures for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.

Participating status with the committee will help provide Australia with a strong voice on the future development of international oil and gas standards.

Uptake of international standards aims to help eliminate technical barriers to trade, and contribute to improved competitiveness and productivity whilst also improving the social and environmental sustainability of the oil and gas industry.

NERA CEO, Miranda Taylor, said, “This industry focused collaboration brings NERA’s vision for achieving a globally competitive, innovative, diverse and sustainable energy resources industry, together with Standards Australia’s commitment to delivering widely recognised and demonstrated value to Australia’s economic efficiency, trade and international competitiveness, and to the community’s expectation of a safe and sustainable Australia.”

Australian oil and gas industry regulators will participate on the Standards Australia Technical Mirror Committee, along with key industry stakeholders. This will help build a nationally consistent approach to the uptake of these standards across Australia’s regulatory regimes.

Importantly, Australia can become internationally recognised as a leader in ensuring the safety and quality of products and services in the oil and gas industry, facilitating international trade and improving the environment worldwide.

Dr Bronwyn Evans, Standards Australia CEO, said, “The development of oil and gas standards will help promote sustainability and innovation and enhance links between stakeholders across the energy resources sector.

“These are important goals for Standards Australia and NERA alike, making it a logical and strategic collaboration.”
