Infrastructure Quality Initiative (IQI)
A Whole-Quality Initiative for Energy Infrastructure
Making Energy Infrastructure Quality Visible
Infrastructure Quality Initiative (IQI)
Energy infrastructure includes the assets, facilities, networks, and systems-of-systems used to produce, process, convert, store, transport, transmit, distribute, and deliver energy.
IQI applies the Whole Quality methodology both to defined Infrastructure Quality Objects as wholes and to the management responsible for their realization and operation. It connects Intended Functions and Results, Boundaries and Interfaces, Quality Factors and Indicators, Quality Outcome Criteria, Evidence, Quality States, and bounded Quality Claims.
IQI develops voluntary, non-regulatory standards, Applied Vocabularies, Context Guides, and analytical tools for understanding and determining quality.

About - Energy Infrastructure Quality in Practice
IQI is a volunteer-run public initiative focused on making the quality of energy infrastructure and its management visible, understandable, and evidence-supported.
Its standards, vocabularies, Context Guides, and other resources are voluntary and non-regulatory.
They do not constitute engineering supervision, regulatory enforcement, certification, legal compliance, or approval of any energy-infrastructure asset or Quality Claim.
IQI is an applied initiative under the Whole-Quality Institute (WQI).
