ASME Stamps

ASME has introduced a new Certification Mark with the 2011 Addenda to the Code. Please
refer to ASME for the details (ASME-Homepage). All new applicants receive the Certification
Mark this year.
Until December 31, 2012 the Code Symbol Stamps may still be used, but will be replaced by the
new Certification Mark together with the designator letter "U", "S", "PP", etc. As of January 1st,
2013 the ASME Code Symbol Stamps may not be used any more. It is important to notice that
the "ASME" Certification Mark with the designator has the same meaning and certifies Code
compliance as the old Code Symbol Stamp did.
Below we have displayed both versions for your convenience.
