ASME maintains official BPV certification downloadable resources supporting Mandatory Appendix 47 implementation (white paper and example forms)

ASME’s BPV Certification “Downloadable Resources” page provides official compliance-support materials relevant to ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1 Mandatory Appendix 47 (design personnel qualification/responsible charge). The resources include an Appendix 47 white paper explaining intent/requirements (e.g., competence expectations for design activities, definitions such as Certifying Engineer/designer, verification of computer programs used for Code design) and example forms/templates to document qualification and responsible-charge certification. While not a jurisdictional law or a change to the Code text itself, these ASME-issued materials are used in ASME certification/accreditation contexts and can affect what certificate holders need to document and demonstrate during ASME reviews.
