American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Standards

 

 

ASME designations are given to products that meet standards from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In November 2001, ASME International formed the Codes and Standards Technology Institute (CSTI) to ensure that ASME standards committees have continuing sources of research in the technologies they cover. CSTI provides the research and technology development needed to establish and maintain the technical relevance of codes and standards. Most ASME specifications are adopted from or very similar to ASTM specifications.
