Frequently Asked, Clearly Answered
Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Started
Which parts of ISO 10424 are most commonly needed?
ISO 10424-1 (rotary drill stem elements) and ISO 10424-2 (threading & gauging of rotary shouldered connections) are the core parts. Many organizations need to comply with Part 1 for components, and Part 2 if thread/connection integrity is critical.
What is the status of ISO 10424-1 and -2?
Part 1 (ISO 10424-1:2004) is the main standard for drill stem elements; Part 2 (ISO 10424-2:2007) covers thread and gauge requirements. Note: some parts have been withdrawn or replaced in updates—so readiness assessment is crucial.
How long does it take to achieve compliance with ISO 10424?
Depends on existing quality, documentation, inspection capability, and component types; typically a few months if many elements are already in place.
Do you provide training and supplier audits?
Yes. UQC supports component manufacturers, suppliers, and quality control teams with training, inspection protocols, and audits.
