2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

(OP)
Anybody know the 'mandatory' date for Section VIII 2013 Edition?

RE: 2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

Should be January 1, 2014, same as all other ASME BPV Editions/Addenda have been through recent history...

RE: 2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

(OP)
Agreed...'should' be...I just haven't seen it written anywhere as such until now. I think I can trust your authority though ;) Thanks.

RE: 2013 Edition: Mandatory Date?

It has been the case in past history that Code revisions become mandatory six months after the date of issuance. If the ASME BPVC was issued on July 1, 2013, then it should be mandatory on January 1, 2014 as already mentioned by TGS4.

Is the 2013 edition available in IHS? I have not checked IHS lately.

Ever wonder why new Code revisions become mandatory six months after the date of issuance? The reason is to give ASME Certificate Holders (Manufacturers) the chance to update their Quality Assurance manuals. I recall this mentioned in a webcast (ASME or IHS website???) early in the year.

And the software vendors time to introduce new bugs into their programs :)
