Date of applicability of 2004 BPV Code
(OP)
As far as I am aware, the 2004 edition of the ASME BPV Codes were applicable as of 1 January 2004. A friend of mine says that he read somewhere the the 2004 edition only becomes effective from March 2004. Can anyone confirm this ?
Thanks
Thanks

The 2004 code, and any revisions, become mandatory 6 months after the publication date (see Summary of Changes page). Either the 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda or the 2004 Edition can be used during this 6 month period.
The date of issuance for the 2004 edition was July 1, 2004 (on the inside page my copy) and I wasn't even able to get mine until mid-September from Global Engineering Documents.
I hope this helped some.

I think that if you started a job before the new edition becomes effective is a better cause to use the older Code.
starting the job mean as a minimum some fabrication documentation with dates presented to the AI on time.

We even get additional work added to a previous P.O. (still open) to design under the previous Ed. /Add.
The A.I. has no problem, but for sure you should do what YOUR A.I. will buy!
