Established in the <strong>1890s as the Department of Explosives<\/strong>, PESO\u2019s primary objective has always been to regulate and enforce safety standards for hazardous substances.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPetroleum products and compressed gases are inherently dangerous\u2014flammable, toxic, oxidizing, or corrosive in nature. Even a minor spark can trigger catastrophic accidents. Recognizing these risks, PESO has evolved into India\u2019s premier authority for regulating the <strong>manufacture, storage, transportation, handling, import, and usage of hazardous materials.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith over a century of expertise, PESO has earned a reputation for excellence in safety regulation across industries dealing with:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explosives<\/li>\n<li>Petroleum &amp; Petroleum Products<\/li>\n<li>Compressed Gases<\/li>\n<li>Pressure Vessels<\/li>\n<li>Gas Cylinders<\/li>\n<li>Cross-country Pipelines<\/li>\n<li>LNG, CNG, Auto LPG, CBG<\/li>\n<li>Ammonium Nitrate<\/li>\n<li>Flameproof Electrical Equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is PESO Certification?<\/h3>\n<p>\n<strong>PESO Certification<\/strong> is a mandatory regulatory approval issued by the <strong>Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation<\/strong>, also known as the <strong>Chief Controller of Explosives (CCOE)<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPESO regulates and enforces safety requirements for:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Importers<\/li>\n<li>Exporters<\/li>\n<li>Storage facilities<\/li>\n<li>Transporters<\/li>\n<li>Sellers and handlers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nof explosives, flammable materials, petroleum products, pressure vessels, and compressed gases.
