ASME B31.3 "Designer" requirements
ASME B31.3 "Designer" requirements
(OP)
Hi All,
I just wanted people's interpretation of the ASME B31.3's competency requirements as regards "Designers". Do we take it that the term "Designer" refers to the Piping Engineer who signs off piping design documents? Does the Checker of the Document need to meet the competency requirements of ASME B31.3? I would like to "poll" peoples "take" on the ASME B31.3 requirements for a "Designer".

Thanks for the response. So would you consider a "Senior Piping Engineer" (Name Only) who signs off isometrics and general arrangements and piping technical documents as requiring to meet the B31.3 competency for a "Designer"?

In our organization, we use ISO 9001 (amongst others to assure the proper people make and check document). Perhaps our organization would then be the designer, instead of a person.

Para 301.1 specifically says person(s) not "organisation". To me it means that the person(s) defined as the "designer" must meet the competence levels identified in a,b,c & d.
