(OP)
With regard to ASME 1, I understand that the duties of the AI are defined in PG-90 and the qualfications in PG-91.
I also understand that the duties, experience and qualifications for observers are defined by A-316, but cannot find the equivalent information for designees.
I will be gratefull for any assistance on this matter.
Best regards

When I studied the ASME codes to take the tests in 1980, I dont remember the codes mentioning the terms designee and observer but over a 26 year span things do evolve particularly with codes.

An Observer is a person that may witness S V testing at a lab or manufacturer.

Thanks for the information.
During safety valve testing, can the ASME Designee be an employee of the valve manufacturer. We are being told that he can by an EPC contractor.
