PESO Certification: A Simplified Guide

PESO Certification is mandatory in India for businesses handling hazardous materials—explosives, compressed gases, petroleum, and flammable substances—under the Explosives Act (1884) and Petroleum Act (1934).

The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) Wing issues licenses and Equipment Type Approval (ETA) to ensure safety standards for equipment, storage, and processes in industries like oil & gas, manufacturing, logistics, and more.

DoStartup™ guides you through the PESO certification process—application, technical review, factory audits, and post‑certification support—for seamless compliance and operational continuity.
