Our Database

and

Its benefits

 

Our Database provides instant interpretations on various Code Clauses

HSB Global Standards, in cooperation with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), has developed a sortable, searchable database of annotated code interpretations. In the database you'll find complete text of interpretations from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Interpretations are provided dating from 1977, and have been reviewed by HSB Global Standards' Codes and Standards staff to determine the current status of each.

In the event that an interpretation has been classified as "Caution" or "Out of Date", we've provided notes to help clarify the status of the interpretation. Explanatory notes have also been provided for interpretations identified as cautionary. The annotations are exclusive to HSB Global Standards' Code Interpretations database and represent yet another example of added value for our Clients/Partners.

In addition to the ASME Interpretations, interpretative information is also provided for other codes such as the European Community's Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), and the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC).

Our Codes and Standards experts monitor developments in the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and summarize them for you categorically. Documents ranging from definitions of frequently used PED terms, to explanations on general requirements, and other information to help you meet PED requirements and familiarize yourself with this important emerging code.
