CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) has become a crucial alternative fuel in India's drive for sustainable transportation and better electricity. However, using high-pressure gases necessitates strict adherence to safety regulations, which is where PESO certification comes in handy.
What is a PESO Certificate?
PESO stands for the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization. This regulatory authority falls under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India.
Certificate from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization
A PESO certificate is mandatory for industries and businesses dealing with:
• Petroleum
• Explosives
• Gas cylinders
• Fire safety equipment
• High-pressure systems (like CNG stations)
CNG stations operate with highly pressurized gas systems. Improper handling or non-standard equipment can lead to:
• Explosions
• Fire hazards
• Property damage
• Loss of life
The PESO CNG certification ensures:
• Safety of public infrastructure
• Approval of safe, BIS-compliant equipment
• Inspection and regulation of storage and dispensing systems
• Reduced risk of industrial accidents
Without a valid PESO certificate, your CNG project is non-compliant and subject to heavy penalties, shutdowns, or even criminal action.

The PESO certificate isn't limited to CNG projects. It is also mandatory for:
• Import/manufacturing of fire extinguishers
• Storage and sale of liquefied gases (LPG, CNG, etc.)
• Transport of hazardous and flammable substances
All pressurized equipment and gas-handling systems must meet PESO's approved design and safety standards, especially for use in industrial and commercial spaces.
