Explaining the significance of the accreditation, Elfab's quality manager Bryan Tate said: "This approval demonstrates Elfab's commitment to industry best practice and continual quality improvement.

The document is gaining acceptance in the refining sector and is being seriously considered in the pipeline sector."
