ASME code services and certification
Ensuring safe and compliant equipment ready for use
The most widely recognised ASME standard
Updated every two years, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a globally recognised standard for the construction of pressure vessels, piping and components for nuclear facilities.
Receiving a certificate of authorisation and the certification mark stamp from ASME ensures your equipment is safe and compliant for use. To apply the ASME certification mark to a piece of equipment, a manufacturer must first be audited and authorised by ASME to perform the work.
The latest update to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code was released in July 2023.
