Description
ASME’s official Code Cases page describes Code Cases as an urgent mechanism for alternative rules/clarifications and includes a Code Case Supplement Schedule (showing remaining 2026 issuance dates in the cycle, as stated in the research). The page points users to the Code Case search/database where organizations can filter for newly issued or revised Code Cases applicable to BPVC Section VIII, Division 1. For VIII-1 compliance programs, monitoring Code Case issuance is important because Code Cases can change acceptable construction approaches ahead of the next full Code edition, subject to acceptance by the user/jurisdiction/contract.
