ASME offers a continuously evolving portfolio of standards across a wide range of topics, including pressure technology, power plants, elevators, construction equipment, piping, nuclear components, and many more.

ASME is the leading international developer of codes and standards, hereafter referred to as standards, associated with the art, science, and practice of mechanical engineering. ASME is the globally recognized, trusted source of consensus standards since 1884.

This page provides a list of all ASME codes & standards including the industry famous B31.3, BPVC, Y14.5 and more.

ASME issued its first standard, Code for the Conduct of Trials of Steam Boilers, in 1884. This paper evolved into Rules for the Construction of Stationary Boilers and for Allowable Working Pressure—the first edition of ASME’s now-legendary Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC)—issued in 1914 and published in 1915.

Access all the important information on safety codes & standards including elevators, escalators, moving walks, material lifts & dumbwaiters that is provided by ASME and managed by the Board on Safety Codes & Standards (BSCS) to protect the public.

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Designed to meet the needs of a changing world ASME's BPVC standards provide the single largest source of technical data used in the manufacturing, construction, and operation of boilers and pressure vessels.

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is the basis behind many of our Certification Programs. Explore the BPVC Sections they’re based on, the latest updates to the Code, and the different locations where ASME Certification is actively used.
