What is the name of the international code that is enforced by all jurisdictions in power engineering?

The ASME Code, or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code, is a widely recognized international standard in the field of power engineering, particularly in relation to the design and construction of pressure vessels, boilers, and piping systems. This code ensures safety and reliability in the engineering practices related to these systems.

It encompasses various sections, including standards for materials, fabrication, examination, testing, and certification, which must be followed in jurisdictions where the code is enforced. The ASME Code is essential for promoting the safe operation of power plants and ensuring that systems can withstand the pressures and temperatures they encounter during operation.

In contrast, while the other codes mentioned—such as ANSI, IEC, and ISO—cover important standards in different areas of engineering and industry, they do not have the same level of authority and enforcement specifically with regard to pressure equipment and power engineering as the ASME Code does.
