  4. OBJECTIVES This submodule will • Describe the multiple paths to international standardization. ASME C&S Training Module B8

  5. AGENDA • ASME International Standards • Normative References • U.S. National Adoption of ISO Standards • ISO Adoption of ASME Standards • ISO Standards Development ASME C&S Training Module B8

  6. I. ASME International Standards ASME C&S Training Module B8

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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 ASME C&S Training Module B8

  10. ASME INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS • International Participation • Enhances international acceptance and use • Delegate position on ASME Committees • Represents recognized group of interested parties (e.g., individuals from a jurisdiction, professional society, trade organization, users group) • Represented group reviews/comments on work of committee or submits proposals • Group works in own country, in native language. • Delegate on standards committee has first consideration voting privilege on standards actions. ASME C&S Training Module B8

  11. II. Normative References ASME C&S Training Module B8

  12. NORMATIVE REFERENCES • Approach • Incorporate normative reference to ASME Standard in ISO Standard • Example • B31.3 Process Piping Code referenced in ISO 15649:2001, Petroleum and natural gas industries – Piping • Advantages • Maintain control of technical content • No need to exert the sometimes extensive effort in creating new standard • Users can continue to use familiar requirements ASME C&S Training Module B8

  13. III. U.S. National Adoption of ISO Standards ASME C&S Training Module B8

  14. U.S. NATIONAL ADOPTION • Definition • Adoption of ISO standard as American National standard • Reasons for U.S. national adoption • No ASME standard exists • ISO standard is the industry recognized standard ASME C&S Training Module B8

  15. U.S. NATIONAL ADOPTION • Procedure • Process ISO standard in accordance with ASME and ANSI procedures. • Withdraw or modify existing ASME standard. • Notes: • ANSI procedures allow for.. • Identical adoption (and expedited approval) • Modified adoption • ASME procedures require • Approval by appropriate Board and Codes and Standards Board of Directors ASME C&S Training Module B8

  16. MODIFIED U.S. NATIONAL ADOPTION • Approaches and rationales • Process modified U.S. national adoption; add special U.S. requirements in appendix • Best when U.S. standard requires additions but no changes to ISO standard • Allows multinational companies to use same standards document both inside and outside U.S. • Process modified U.S. national adoption • When ISO standard needs technical changes for U.S. use ASME C&S Training Module B8

  17. POP QUIZ #1 A new ISO standard covering an area already covered in the U.S. by an existing ASME standard has rapidly become the standard of preference in much of the industry. The new standard does not address a couple of issues important in the U.S., but otherwise meets all U.S. needs. What action might ASME take to update its U.S. standard in a way that meets the needs of both domestic and multi-national companies? _____ ASME C&S Training Module B8

  18. IV. ISO Adoption of ASME Standards ASME C&S Training Module B8

  19. SUBMISSION OF ASME STANDARDS TO ISO • Rationale • Make the ASME standard recognized more internationally • The ISO Technical Committee has a stronger technical base • Requirements • Obtain approval of • Consensus committee • Appropriate Board • Codes and Standards Board of Directors • Submit as New Work Item proposal • Use ISO format (ISO template) • NOTE: With this option the U.S. would lose control over the technical content in the resulting ISO standard. ASME C&S Training Module B8
