The Chemical Industry is responsible for the production and marketing of chemical products used in a wide variety of industries and sectors. These companies develop, manufacture and distribute chemical substances and compounds that are essential to the functioning of industrial processes, the design of consumer products and the improvement of different areas of everyday life. To ensure compliance with safety and quality standards, the Equipment Inspection Specific Service (SPIE) is responsible for the voluntary certification of the equipment used in these processes.

Every year, IBP’s Product Certification Body (OCP/IBP) carries out audits to check that the SPIE is keeping the previously assessed level. These audits are essential to enable the chemical industry a more efficient production without compromising the high safety standards required to operate these resources.

The following SPIEs are currently certified:

• BASF NE
• BASF SE
• RHODIA PLN
• ÓLEO QUÍMICA
