About NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156

NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 specifies materials qualified for use in H2S-containing environments in upstream oil & gas production. It addresses Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC), Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) and Stepwise Cracking (SWC). The standard has three parts: Part 1 (general principles), Part 2 (carbon and low-alloy steels), and Part 3 (corrosion-resistant alloys, CRAs).

Issuing Body

AMPP (formerly NACE International) and ISO Technical Committee 67

Edition

2020

Coverage

Three parts: general principles for selection of cracking-resistant materials (Part 1); cracking-resistant carbon and low-alloy steels (Part 2); cracking-resistant CRAs and other alloys (Part 3).

Typical Users

Operators, EPCs, equipment manufacturers, fabricators in upstream oil & gas and related industries where H2S is present.

How to use this tool

1. Work through each clause. For each requirement, choose Compliant, Partial, Non-compliant, or leave as Not assessed.

NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials — Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials gap analysis tool, data privacy, audit preparation, and ISO Xpert consulting.

What is the NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials gap analysis tool and how does it work?
The NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials gap analysis tool is a free browser-based checklist that compares your current management system against the clauses of NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials. You answer clause-by-clause questions and rate each requirement as Compliant, Partial or Non-compliant. The tool calculates a live compliance score, highlights gaps on a heat-map, captures evidence and corrective-action notes, and exports the full assessment as JSON, CSV, TXT or print-ready PDF for management review and Stage 1 / Stage 2 audit preparation.
Is the NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials gap analysis tool really free to use?
Yes — the NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials tool is 100% free with no sign-up, no email capture, no credit card, no watermarks, and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted to ISO Xpert servers. You can clear or export your data at any time.
Where is my NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Sour Service Materials assessment data stored?
