ASME C&S Training Module B8 Slide 6 WHAT MAKES A STANDARD “INTERNATIONAL”? Criteria –A development process characterized by openness, transparency, international participation and due process (WTO principles) –A record of success in meeting or a potential to meet global marketplace and public safety needs –The ability to maintain technical relevance

ASME C&S Training Module B8 Slide 7 INTERNATIONAL STANDARDIZATION ASME develops standards intended to meet needs of industries and governments on global basis ASME standards developed under process that meets WTO principles for international standards development To address global relevance, an ASME committee may take various approaches, including: –development of performance based and prescriptive standards as means of compliance with regulations or essential safety requirements; –normative or informative references to non-ASME international, regional, or national standards; and –national adoptions of non-ASME international standards

ASME C&S Training Module B8 Slide 8 ASME INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS Some ASME codes and standards in international use –Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (over 100 countries) –B31 Piping Codes –B16 Standards on Valves, Flanges, Fittings and Gaskets –Bioprocessing Equipment Standard
