Nota de la Secretaria

Corrigendum

En la sección del documento TBT/W/44 dedicada a los Estados Unidos, subs­tituyanse las páginas 10 y 15 por las siguientes.

Pais: Estados Unidos

1. Nombre: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

(Sociedad de Ingenieros Mecánicos de los Estados Unidos)

2. Fecha de creación: 1880

3. Composi ción: La ASME es un órgano no gubernamental del que pueden formar parte todas

las personas nacionales y extranjeras que reúnan los requisitos académicos y profesionales exigidos para las diversas categorias de asociados. Las cate­gorías son las siguientes: socio, miembro, miembro asociado, afiliado ejecu­tivo, afiliado y estudiante.

6. Actividades:

La ASME prepara, promulga y administra códigos, normas y programas de acreditación.

7. Esferas de normalización:

Ingenieria mecánica y disciplinas afines.

8. Esferas de certificación: Acreditación de fabricantes de calderas, recipientes a presión, compo­

nentes y materiales para centrales nucleares, válvulas de seguridad, y válvulas de seguridad de superficie y submarinas para trabajos "off-shore". Todos los fabricantes calificados, ya sean nacionales o extranjeros, pueden optar al programa de acreditación.

9. Publi caciones:

En la actualidad pueden obtenerse en ASME más de 600 códigos y normas, relativos a sectores tales como ascensores, fontaneria, filamentos, calderas, recipientes a presión, centrales nucleares, herramientas mecánicas, tuberias, cerrojos y llaves, grúas y cabrias, dibujo mecánico y pruebas de rendimiento.
