The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has been a world
leader in codes, standards, accreditation, and certification
for over a century. These programs have now been extended to
include the registration (certification) of quality systems
in conformance with the standards set by the International Organization
of Standardization (ISO). |
|
ASME's ISO 9000 Registration Program has been accredited by
the American National Accreditation Program for Registrars of
Quality Systems (ANSIRAB) and the Dutch Council for Accreditation
(RvA). |

ASME specializes in the registration of domestic and international
suppliers of mechanical equipment and related materials, items
and services in the industries and sectors associated with the
art, science and practice of mechanical engineering. These industries
include: |
- Primary
metals industries
- Fabricated
metal products
- Industrial
and commercial machinery and equipment
- Reinforced
thermoset plastic tanks and vessels
- Engineering
services
|
|
ASME uses quality system auditors experienced in the above-listed
fields who have been certified to the international auditor
qualification standard ISO 10011-2. Registration decision and
policy making are conducted within the framework of the ASME
codes, standards, accreditation, and certification committee
structure. The use of volunteers from industry and government
provides for a high quality program that is administered in
a fair, impartial, and professional manner. |
