Abstract:
In June, 2017, ASTM D6792, Standard Practice for Quality Management Systems in Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants Testing Laboratories was revised to better align with industry best practices. These revisions primarily changed previously optional requirements into mandatory requirements. This presentation will review significant changes to the ASTM standards, benefits of a comprehensive quality system, and assessment recommendations. As part of KBC’s ten-element Operational Excellence program, KBC offers independent assessments of Refinery Quality Management Systems and their conformance to the ASTM standards, and then identifies improvement opportunities from a compliance perspective while maintaining a focus on asset optimization and profit improvement.
