Standards, not having the force of law, are considered voluntary and serve as guidelines. Standard developing organization publishes standards and codes and accredits users of standards to ensure that they are meeting those standards.

This course will provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of mechanical codes and fields of codes developed by standard developing organization. Samples of mechanical codes will be highlighted in this course.

Inspectors, project and maintenance engineers and design and system engineers who are personally responsible for reliability, operation, maintenance and repair of equipment, systems, tanks, vessels, piping and pipelines and pumps and those who are involved in performance testing and commissioning of mechanical equipment.
