does ASME provide design-only certification of VIII-1 to a company? 1

[YuJie_PV]

hi all,

the salesman of my company checks with me if design-only certification is available under ASME VIIII-1.
many years ago, i accidentally heard that ASME would provide design-only certification to a company?
what is the current status? is design-only certification for ASME VIII-1 available now?

Thanks in advance

No. Only manufacturers are certified. Manufacturers can outsource design work - See Appendix 47. Note that Appendix 47 will be modified in the 2025 Edition. An early-implementation Code Case is available for manufacturers - Code Case 3100.

@TGS4, can you give some information regarding the modification of Appendix 47?

 

[TGS4]

Attached is the text of Code Case 3100 (it has been Board-approved, so it good-to-use).

For the new Appendix 47, basically re-number paragraphs (a) through (c) in the Code Case with 47-1, 47-2, and 47-3. And the (1) through (5) subparagraphs in the Code Case will be subparagraphs (a) through (e), etc.
