PESO CERTIFICATE
In India, businesses dealing with flammable gases, petroleum products, or pressurized containers can’t afford to take safety lightly — literally! That’s where PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization) certification steps in.
Whether you’re a gas cylinder manufacturer, petroleum transporter, LPG bottling plant, or fuel station, PESO Certification ensures your operations meet the strict safety, storage, and handling standards mandated by the Explosives Act, 1884 and the Petroleum Act, 1934.
So if your business is in the energy, chemical, or manufacturing sector — obtaining PESO Certification isn’t just compliance… it’s a shield of credibility and legal security.
