ASME develops technical standards and is a globally recognized leader in providing consensus standards relating to mechanical engineering. For more than 100 years, ASME standards and related product certifications have formed an interlocking system based on:

• Safety Standards: A set of requirements developed by volunteer technical experts using an open and transparent consensus process.
• Product Certifications: A program built upon the safety standards wherein the quality systems of a manufacturer are assessed and certified based on the manufacturer's demonstrated ability to meet the requirements of an ASME standard.
• Certification Mark: A mark used by certified companies that is placed on manufactured items. The symbol is designed to provide users with a high degree of confidence the stamped items conform to established safety standards.
