Leading ASME Certification Consulting Company with Global Presence
ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is a globally recognized organization for mechanical equipment manufacturing and inspection standards. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPVC) is widely applied in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, boilers, nuclear equipment, and related systems.
Companies achieving ASME certification can apply the ASME stamp to their products, demonstrating that both the product and manufacturing system meet international safety and quality requirements, and possess the credentials to enter North American and international high-end markets.
RASOO International Certification & Engineering Consulting specializes in international pressure equipment and welding quality system certification consulting, with long-term commitment to ASME, NBIC, PED/CE, ISO 9001, AD2000, and other system guidance and training.
