how to become ASME certified?

step 1
Purchase relevant BPVC Code Books, e.g Section VIII Div 1


step 2
design and develop the QC Manual in accordance with Appendix 10

The QC System must cover Design Calculations, Material Control System, Purchasing, Welding processes, Calibration,QC and Testing

step 3
Recruit or appoint a Design Consultant (Manager) knowledgeable with the relevant codes

step 4
Appoint a Level III certified ASNT registered person for NDE

step5
The above person will train the QC Engineers for NDE

step 6
Contract with ASME approved AIA

step 7
Get the QC Manual and supporting documentation approved by AIA

step 8
Train all the personnel particularly Level II and Level I personnel for the requirements of the QC System and the Code


step 9
carry out a demo job in accordance with the approved QC System

step 10
The AIA will make visits to the establishment to ensure that the demo job is being carried out in accordance with the QC System.

step 11
Carry out suggested Corrective Action if demanded

step 12
Reaudit by AIA if required
if OK now, call ASME personnel for final audit

step 12
Carry out suggested CA if demanded by ASME

step 13
Reaudit if required by ASME

If OK now, ASME U stamp will be issued along with certificate of Approval
Total costs estimate approx 15 Lakhs INR

CAUTION
Once u mark with ASME stamp, the company is liable
If the vessel fails in service for whatever reason/s,

The design, purchasing, manufacturing and testing records will be scrutinized.
You will be sued, even if a slight deviation is traced.

ASME U

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel CODE
ASME's Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code controls the design, inspection, and repair of pressure vessels. The ASME B&PV Code has adopted the use of many ASTM NDT standards and practices. The ASTM documents are re-identified with a "S" preceding the "E" in the B&PV Code. For example, E-94 would become SE-94. NDT personnel are primarily concerned with the followings sections of the B&PV Code.
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section V-Nondestructive ExaminationThis Section contains requirements and methods for nondestructive examination which are referenced and required by other code Sections. It also includes manufacturer's examination responsibilities, duties of authorized inspectors and requirements for qualification of personnel, inspection and examination. Examination methods are intended to detect surface and internal discontinuities in materials, welds, and fabricated parts and components.
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII- Rules For Construction of Pressure Vessels Division 1This Division of Section VIII provides requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels operating at either internal or external pressures exceeding 15 psig. Such pressure vessels may be fired or unfired.
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII-Rules For Construction Of Pressure Vessels Division 2-Alternative RulesThis Division of Section VIII provides requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels operating at either internal or external pressures exceeding 15 psig. Such vessels may be fired or unfired.

ISO 9000 Registration for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

ISO 9000 Registration for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
You can save time and money by combining ISO9000 Registration with one of ASME's accreditation programs. Since 1969, ASME has utilized quality system audits as a means of verification that supplier's products or services conform to ASME Codes and Standards. ASME is THE specialist in the mechanical engineering field. We know machinery and mechanical equipment inside-out. Our auditors have the technical expertise you are looking for, and they understand your business and its unique products and services.
If you are accredited by ASME under one of these programs, or are applying for accreditation, you can coordinate the ISO9000 assessment with Boiler and Pressure Vessel Shop Review. You can either request an early renewal of your accreditation, or apply for ISO9000 Registration at the time of your next scheduled renewal.
Think of It........
A Simplified Quality System - One Manual (or two....it's your decision)
Significantly Reduced Audit/Review Time - One Shop Review/Assessment Combined
Quality Management Consistency and Ease of Implementation
Eliminate Unnecessary Cost
It Makes Sense.
Information
Complete an online request for cost estimation and program information
Application NOTE: For your convenience, this form can be filled out electronically, or printed and then filled out. However ASME must receive a signed original.
