In high-risk industries like oil and gas, quality and safety are not just important — they are
non-negotiable.
That’s where QA/QC (Quality Assurance / Quality Control) plays a critical role.
At Uma Industrial Engineering Services, we specialize in offering expert-level QA/QC and
NDT services that ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
In this blog, we’ll break down what QA/QC means, why it’s crucial in the oil & gas sector, and
how our services help maintain the highest standards of quality.
🔍 What is QA/QC?
QA/QC stands for:
● Quality Assurance (QA):
A proactive process that ensures systems, procedures, and methods are in place to
guarantee quality before and during production or service execution.
● Quality Control (QC):
A reactive process that involves inspecting, testing, and identifying defects in the
final product or service to ensure it meets required specifications.
