The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) licensing is mandatory for any facility in India that manufactures, stores, transports, or handles compressed gases, petroleum, explosives, or hazardous chemicals.
Any industrial facility utilizing unfired pressure vessels to store compressed gases—such as LPG, nitrogen, or oxygen—must obtain SMPV(U) certification under the 2016 Rules to verify structural integrity and prevent catastrophic failures.
The Petroleum Rules 2002 govern the safe storage and transport of liquid petroleum products based on their flash points, whereas the SMPV(U) Rules 2016 regulate the storage of compressed and liquefied gases within unfired static or mobile pressure vessels.
