    3. What is a standard? A standard can be defined as a set of technical definitions and guidelines that function as instructions for designers, manufacturers, operators, or users of equipment. Standards, not having the force of law, are considered voluntary and serve as guidelines. ASME publishes standards and accredits users of standards toensure that they are capable of manufacturing products that meet those standards.

    4. What is a code? A standard is a code when it has been adopted by one or more governmental bodies and is enforceable by law, or when it has been incorporated into a business contract.

    5. ASME Codes and Standards ASME’s Codes and Standards organization develops and maintains standards and conformity assessment programs First standard issued in 1884 Approx. 600 consensus standards Over 100 ASME standards committees Over 3,600 volunteer committee members Standards address pressure technology, nuclear, safety, standardization, and performance test codes Conformity Assessment programs to accredit manufacturers of equipment

    6. ASME Codes and Standards ASME’s Voluntary Consensus Process Openness, balance of Interests, consensus, due process American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited procedures Compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) principles for international standards development Transparency, openness, impartiality and consensus, effectiveness and relevance, coherence, and development dimension.

    7. How does ASME produce codes and standards? ASME’s Council on Codes and Standards oversees six standards-developing supervisory boards and three advisory boards, which manage more than 100 committees and 3,600 volunteer members (see figure on next page). The supervisory boards are responsible for pressure technology, nuclear installations, safety codes, per formance test codes, conformity assessment, andstandardization. The advisory boards deal with international standards, hearings and appeals, and council operations.
