13、 and Placement of Certification Designator 4Table1 ASME Certification Programs . 6ivFOREWORDIn February 2009, the ASME Board on Conformity Assessment (BCA) formed the Committee on Conformity Assessment Requirements. The mission of this Committee was to develop a separate standard that includes the n
14、ec-essary ASME conformity assessment requirements currently contained in various ASME Codes and Standards. This Standard is a result of that mission.The first edition was published in 2013 and was written specifically to inform the non-nuclear boiler and pressure vessel industry of the direction in
15、which ASME will be implementing and updating its conformity assessment pro-grams. Future editions will be published to minimize content duplication and potential conflicts of statements for all of ASMEs conformity assessment programs.The 2014 edition has been revised to permit other ASME conformity
16、assessment programs to reference the ASME CA-1 Standard.These requirements were developed and are maintained by the ASME Committee on Conformity Assessment Requirements that reports to the ASME Board on Conformity Assessment. The Committee operates under the proce-dures accredited by the American Na
17、tional Standards Institute.Requests for interpretations of or revisions to this Standard are welcome. They should be sent to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Attn: Secretary, Conformity Assessment Requirements Committee; Two Park Avenue; New York, NY 10016-5990.vCOMMITTEE ON CONFORMITY
