Producers and traders are at the center of global commodities trade. Whether it’s crude oil, refined fuels, petrochemicals,
or agricultural feedstocks, value is realized only when buyers and sellers agree on quality, quantity, and compliance.
BQCIS provides independent, third-party validation to safeguard these transactions, ensuring transparency, trust, and minimized disputes.

Quantity Assurance

• Independent measurement of tanks, pipelines, trucks, and vessels.
• Ullage & sounding verification with correction factors (GOV, TOV, NSV).
• Temperature-compensated volumes verified under ASTM/IP methods.

Quality Verification

• Sampling & laboratory analysis aligned with ISO and ASTM.
• Purity and contamination testing (water, BS&W, cat fines, sulfur content).
• Laboratory certificates defensible in customs clearance and disputes.

Compliance & Settlement

• Certificates accepted in ICC Trade Finance under LC/DP contracts.
• Neutral loss control ensures fair settlement between buyers & sellers.
• Reports issued with QR-secure verification.

Case Study: Neutral Loss Control in West Africa

A crude oil producer in Nigeria faced recurring disputes with international traders over outturn variances.
BQCIS introduced independent custody reconciliation, applying ASTM temperature-compensated calculations and
QR-secured certificates. Within three months, disputes dropped by 80%, enabling smoother settlements and
faster vessel clearance at Lagos Port.
