APPENDIX A NONMANDATORY

ACCEPTABLE ASTM EDITIONS

All material allowed by the various Code Sections
and used for construction within the scope of their
rules shall be furnished in accordance with the Material
Specifications contained within Section II and this
Appendix except where otherwise provided in Code
Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code. Materials
covered by these Specifications are acceptable for use
in items covered by the Code Sections only to the
degree indicated in the applicable Section. Materials
for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced,
and documented on this basis; however, material pro-
duced under an ASTM Specification may be used in
lieu of the corresponding ASME Specification as listed
in this Appendix. Material produced to an ASME or
ASTM Specification with requirements different from
the requirements of the corresponding Specification may
also be used in accordance with the above, provided
the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certi-
fies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector
that the corresponding Specification requirements have
been met. This Appendix lists the Specifications and
acceptable dates of issue as well as the Book sections
of the ASME Boiler Code in which the specification
is approved for use.
