How frequently are API standards reviewed?

API standards are reviewed every five years to ensure they remain current and relevant to industry practices, technological advancements, and safety considerations. This periodic review cycle allows for thorough examination and updates to the standards, accommodating changes in technology, regulatory requirements, and best practices that may emerge over time. By implementing this five-year review cycle, API ensures that its standards continue to provide effective guidance for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of equipment in the industry, promoting safety, reliability, and efficiency.
