The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the world's leading trade organization for the oil and gas industry, and as such is responsible for issuing quality management standards for safe and efficient best practices. The API's Spec Q1 10th Edition is the current version of this mainline standard. However, many companies which previously used the 9th Edition may still need to update their quality management systems (QMS) to reflect the changes. The deadline to make this change is March 18, 2026; therefore, time is of the essence to act now and minimize downtime without certification. QMS2GO is an AI-powered software solution trained on API Spec Q1 10th Edition that can help companies make the switch.

Watch What is API Spec Q110th Edition? — a free video from the QMS2GO Learning Hub for quality managers, internal auditors, and manufacturing leaders working with ISO 9001 quality management systems. Every video in the hub is produced by the QMS2GO quality team and is free to view without signup.
Clause knowledge only pays off when it changes a record someone actually keeps. After this video, look at the register, form, or log in your own system that the topic touches, and decide whether an auditor could follow it end to end without a verbal explanation. That single check is usually the difference between a passing finding and an observation.
Most quality teams get the most value by treating each video as a working session rather than passive background. Note the ISO 9001 clauses referenced, compare what is described against how your own organization currently handles that requirement, and write down the gap. Where the gap is a missing record, a missing owner, or a process that lives only in someone's head, that is exactly what a certification or surveillance auditor will find first. Share the video with process owners and supervisors so quality ownership is not concentrated in one person.
Quality managers building or inheriting an ISO 9001 quality management system, internal auditors preparing an audit program to ISO 19011, consultants supporting multiple client sites, production and operations leaders who own corrective actions, and executives who need a plain-language view of how quality performance connects to on-time delivery, scrap, rework, and customer complaints. No prior auditor training is assumed, and every video in the hub is free to view without signup or a credit card.
