GLOBAL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

ASME Signs Three MOUs in China
In September 2007, ASME co-sponsored a Beijing ceremony to celebrate the completion and release of Chinese translations of ASME nuclear codes and standards and to sign three MOU’s to further cooperative relationships and work efforts in China.  During related meetings, ASME met with China’s Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan and other government and industry leaders.   At the Nuclear Codes & Standards Ceremony SPERI (Shanghai Power Equipment Research Institute) performed translationsunder license agreement with ASME which was completely populated and funded by industry in China.  The ASME MOU with CSTEC (China Science & Technology Exchange Center) establishes framework to increase Sino-American civil science and technology cooperation. The SPERI/ASME MOU builds on translated ASME NCS to include training and symposia to promote use of ASME NCS and assist in China’s NCS system.   The SINOPEC (China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation)/ASME MOU promotes participation in ASME pressure equipment standards development, conferences, events, and workforce training.  For more information contact Mark Sheehan sheehanm@asme.org
