ASME certification procedure

Date 05-29-2002 00:21

Hello:

I apologize because I know that this particular board is not for this kind of issues, but I know too that this is the most readed too for many qualified people.
I am a mechanical engineer and current certified welding inspector (CWI) by the AWS. I am interested in obtain the ASME boiler and pressure vessels certification, but I am a little losted in this goal. If there is here an authorized inspector of BPV who may guide me or give me information about the process to get the certification, contacts, requirements, etc.
I have doubts if I am asking to the right place, but any guide about it will be usefull to me.
Thanks in advance for your colaboration.

Dear Mr. Santamaria,
I speak perfect Spanish myself, so I'm not speaking in favor of my own interest.
However, this is a public site accessed by people of all nationalities. Being English the language of AWS, all statements should be written in English. Chances are, great chances by the way, that apart from my friend Jorge Giraldo other persons are interested in knowing the answer to his question.
Sin más por el momento, lo saludo muy atte.
