Press release: Gazprom and RUSNANO to advance cooperation on certification efforts

Background

In 2011, Gazprom and RUSNANO approved the Program to boost the demand for innovative products, including nanotechnologies, in the gas industry.

In 2016, the Gazprom Innovative Development Program until 2025 was approved. The Program is primarily aimed at continuously advancing Gazprom's technological level to maintain the Company's position as a technological leader in the global energy market. It provides for proactive cooperation with corporate and independent research organizations in R&D activities, as well as with national development institutes and higher education institutions in joint research and staff training programs.

The INTERGAZCERT system is meant to certify compliance of products, works, services and management systems with international and national standards, as well as Gazprom's standards. The system covers a large number of homogeneous product groups from natural gas and oil to a wide range of oil and gas machinery, automation facilities, and software.

NANOCERTIFICA compliance certificates are used to identify products as nanotechnological and confirm their compliance with specified primary characteristics and safety parameters.
