The objective of this manual is to provide organizations seeking to obtain or maintain ASME non-nuclear Certificates of Authorization (U, S, UM, H, PP) and National Board R Certificates with a complete, ready-to-implement Quality Management System aligned with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 2025 Edition, and the NBIC (Latest Edition).

This manual offers prospective Certificate Holders a structured, compliant, and audit-ready framework addressing all required elements of non-nuclear construction and repair activities, including design control, material traceability, fabrication processes, welding procedure and personnel qualification, nondestructive examination, pressure testing, documentation, Data Reports, and certification requirements under ASME and NBIC.

Additionally, the E-2015 Manual can be used to abstract and identify the major revisions necessary to meet the updated protocols, terminology, and quality expectations introduced in the ASME 2025 Edition and the NBIC Quality Management System requirements, supporting organizations as they transition from earlier editions to full compliance.
