PESO Certification

Your trusted partner for hazardous material approvals — ensuring safety compliance, regulatory approval, and seamless operations under India’s explosive and petroleum regulations.

Overview

PESO Certification is a mandatory safety approval required for any business dealing with petroleum, explosives, compressed gases, and hazardous substances in India. Issued by the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, this certification ensures that the manufacturing, storage, transport, and handling of hazardous materials comply with strict safety standards prescribed under the Explosives Act, 1884 and the Petroleum Rules.

Industries dealing with fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, and industrial explosives must obtain this license to mitigate risks and prevent accidents. Bizmint provides end-to-end PESO support, including identifying the correct license type, preparing technical layout drawings, coordinating physical site inspections by PESO officials, and managing the final grant of operational approval.
