ASME Inspection

QSC inspectors hold ASME / National Board commissions as Inspector, AI, ANI, IS and R. They carry out code inspections of boilers, pressure vessels and nuclear components, in the shop and in the field.

QSC covers all ASME BPVC Sections and code stamps. As the code requires, authorized inspection is performed through the Authorized Inspection Agency APAVE.
