The EI is seen as a world class leader in test method development, developing and publishing international standard test methods (known as IP Test Methods) for petroleum and related products. These are used to support government regulations, custody transfer, quality control and international petroleum product specifications globally. The EI Test Method Standardisation Committee works closely with international standards agencies, including CEN, ISO and ASTM and in many cases publishes jointed methods (as dual numbered IP/ASTM test methods or as BS 2000 series methods for EN/ISO test methods). Covering fuel, lubricants, bitumen and crude oil testing and analysis, these standards are referenced by regulatory authorities and in various MoD product quality control specifications
Many IP test methods underpin product quality requirements which have an impact on safety and the environment, in both shipment and use.
To assist laboratories in demonstrating data quality and integrity in use of the test methods, the EI also coordinates a range of correlation schemes for testing and analysis to support required laboratory quality assurance (QA) systems.
