About the Event
ASME Nuclear Standards and Certification Workshop
International stakeholders provide invaluable expertise and resources to code and standards activities to understand identify, clarify, and address issues arising in their respective regions. This workshop will promulgate an open technical exchange of information and sharing of lessons learned in response to current codes and standards needs. All interested stakeholders will contribute toward the development and modification of codes, standards, and conformity assessment activities and help identify international collaboration efforts.
International Working Group (IWG) Meetings
IWG’s provide participation in ASME codes and standards development without travel to North America and are recognized standing committees and operate to ASME process and procedures. IWG’s review, provide input, and vote on proposed changes to ASME codes and standard, including changes and additions, and have access to commentary and background documents, which provide insight to the technical basis for code requirements.
