ONGC Approved Supplier

About ONGC Approval

ONGC maintains a rigorous vendor registration and product approval system to ensure all equipment used across its operations meets Indian regulatory requirements and ONGC's internal safety standards. For explosion proof lighting, ONGC requires products to hold valid BIS certification under the IS/IEC 60079 series, along with international IECEx or ATEX certification as additional evidence of product quality and safety. The vendor registration process involves submission of technical documentation, certification evidence, company credentials, and manufacturing capability details. ONGC's technical evaluation committees review all submissions and may conduct factory inspections before granting approval. AJV Tech and its manufacturing partners hold current ONGC vendor registration and product approvals, enabling supply to ONGC projects across India.

ONGC Technical Requirements

ONGC's technical specifications for explosion proof lighting are based on Indian standards (IS/IEC 60079 series) and OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) guidelines. Key requirements include BIS certification as the primary mandatory certification, appropriate zone classification (Zone 1 or Zone 2 for gas, Zone 21 or Zone 22 for dust), minimum IP65 or IP66 ingress protection rating, ambient temperature suitability for Indian climatic conditions, corrosion-resistant construction for offshore and coastal installations, and compliance with ONGC's electrical engineering specifications. For offshore platforms, additional requirements may include marine-grade material specifications and resistance to salt spray environments. ONGC also requires comprehensive documentation packages with each supply, including BIS certificates, test reports, installation and maintenance manuals, and spare parts lists.

Ramfan explosion proof ventilation fans are available for confined space entry and hazardous area ventilation requirements. AJV Tech's India operations provide complete support for ONGC projects, including technical submittals per ONGC documentation formats, BIS certification packages, on-site technical assistance, and after-sales service across ONGC's operational areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. BIS certification under the IS/IEC 60079 series is a mandatory requirement for explosion proof electrical equipment used on ONGC projects, both onshore and offshore. ONGC's procurement specifications and the underlying OISD and PESO regulations require BIS certification as the primary mandatory credential. IECEx or ATEX certification may be required additionally as evidence of international product quality, but cannot substitute BIS certification alone.

ONGC typically requires a comprehensive documentation package with each supply including: BIS certificate with ISI mark, IECEx certificate, test reports from BIS-approved laboratories, EU Declaration of Conformity (for ATEX), technical datasheet, dimensional drawings, installation and operation and maintenance (O&M) manual, packing list, and a test certificate or factory acceptance test (FAT) report where applicable. AJV Tech provides all these documents and can format submissions to match ONGC's standard documentation requirements.

Yes. AJV Tech's India team is experienced in preparing technical submittals in the format required by ONGC's engineering and materials departments. This includes completing ONGC's standard Material Inspection Request (MIR) documentation, technical compliance statements against ONGC specifications and OISD guidelines, and pre-dispatch inspection coordination with ONGC's third-party inspection agencies.

AJV Tech supplies explosion proof lighting and ventilation to ONGC's onshore operations (including Western Region, Eastern Region, and Central Region facilities) and offshore assets including Mumbai High, the Western Offshore fields, and the KG Basin. Supply is coordinated from our Dubai hub with export documentation and BIS compliance, with logistics support to ONGC's project and maintenance sites across India.

Yes. For offshore platform projects, ONGC often requires products to hold both BIS and IECEx certification, as offshore environments demand internationally recognised standards in addition to Indian BIS compliance. Dual BIS and IECEx certified products are the most widely accepted and simplify the vendor qualification and material approval process for ONGC offshore contracts.
