ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

WHAT IS THE ASME CODE?

The ASME Code is a leading standard for pressure equipment and components worldwide. It establishes the requirements for manufacturer certification and quality assurance. In addition, the ASME Code sets rules for the design, materials, manufacturing, inspection, testing and operation of boilers and pressure vessels (including power boilers, heating boilers, nuclear facility components, fibre-reinforced plastic pressure vessels and transport tanks).

WHY IS ASME CODE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

The ASME Code is recognised in the U.S., Canada and over 100 other countries. Manufacturing, repairing or altering your pressure equipment in accordance with the Code helps you to access opportunities in these markets. Affixing the ASME certification mark to your pressure equipment inspires greater confidence among your business partners, end users and authorities. It is regarded as the hallmark of acceptance and certification that indicates conformity to the Code.
