General Information
Since 1916, ASME has certified companies in the pressure equipment industry
to certify that their products, services and quality system comply with the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code establishes rules governing
the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, and
nuclear power plant components during construction.
The ASME certification mark, which is regarded as the hallmark of acceptance
and certification, is used to indicate that the stamped item(s) conform to
the latest edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes.
Utilization of the ASME certification mark is a means of complying with the
laws and regulations in all 50 states in the U.S., and all of the provinces
of Canada. In addition, it has been estimated that over 100 countries accept
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code as a means of meeting their government
safety regulations.
The quality systems of more than 5800 companies in more than 70 countries
are currently certified by ASME. Whether or not an ASME Code Symbol Stamp
is legally required, it provides users with a high degree of confidence that
the stamped items conform to established safety standards.
