<h1>Nationwide third-party certification program for LPG bottling plants to verify safety, reduce defects, and strengthen compliance</h1> An integrated energy company launched a nationwide third-party certification program for LPG bottling plants to verify safety and quality from plant to consumer, with audits performed by agencies accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies. The program, now implemented at multiple plants with others underway, aims to reduce defective cylinders and strengthen consumer safety, regulatory compliance, and operational governance. Legal implications include enhanced demonstrable compliance and possible mitigation of product-liability exposure, evidentiary value of accredited audits in disputes, and potential increased regulatory scrutiny or benchmarking for industry peers.
