What is ASME Code?
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a globally recognised standard for 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. This is done along with an authorised inspection agency.

The code requires businesses in a range of sectors to request inspections from authorised inspection agencies like LRQA. Updates to the code are issued every two years.
