shall have the Certificates of authorization for use of ASME U2 Code Symbol Stamp, although code
stamping
D.4
is not required for the equipment, as a rule.
When the design code is not ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, Div.1 or Div.2, Vender
shall check the consistency of the code requirement and the requirement of the spec. D-102 and E-102, and
shall inform the any consistency to the Purchaser.
