| Rationale: |
The reply has always been “No” for ASME non-nuclear boiler and pressure vessels activities based on the following:
1. ASME has no Corporate Certificates of Authorization for non-nuclear boiler and pressure vessels activities. ASME code requires each plant to have a separate Certificate of Authorization and demonstrate a Quality Control System to establish that all Code requirements, including material, design, fabrication, examination, inspection of boilers/pressure vessels or parts, pressure testing, and certification will be met.
2. In order to obtain an ASME Certificate of Authorization, the Manufacturer is required to have and maintain a quality control system that describes the Code activities, who is responsible and how the Code activities will be controlled for each location.
