FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ASME N626.3-1993.)

At the March 29, 1973, meeting of the Policy Board, Codes and Standards, a Special
Committee of the Policy Board, Codes and Standards, was established to develop a stan-
dard whose scope wouldinclude the duties and qualifications of the Authorized Inspection
Agency, the supervisory personnel of the Authorized Inspection Agency, and the Author-
ized Nuclear Inspectors, as coveredin the ASME Boilerand Pressure Vessel Code, Section
III, Division I.
The Policy Board, Codes and Standards, at its meeting of September 27, 1973, desig-
nated the Special Committee asa Safety Code Committee and approvedprocedures for the
Committee activities.
The scope of the Safety Code Committee was expandedby the Policy Board, Codes and
Standards, to include the development of standards whose scope wouldinclude the duties
and qualifications of the Authorized Inspection Agency, the supervisory personnel of the
Authorized Inspection Agency, and the Authorized Nuclear Inspectors, as covered in the
ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code,Section XI, and Section III, Division 2, and thede-
velopment of a standard for qualifications and duties of Specialized Professional Engi-
neers.
To facilitate the development of such standards, Task Groups were appointed by the
Safety Code Committee. The Safety Code Committee was madeup of individuals associ-
ated with:
Nuclear Component Manufacturers
Engineering Organizations
Utilities
State Regulatory Agencies
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Authorized Inspection Agencies
National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
Joint ACVASME Committee on Concrete Nuclear Components
The Safety Code Committee, nowdesignated Committee on Authorized Nuclear Inspec-
tion and SpecializedProfessional Engineers, reports to theASME Board on Nuclear Codes
and Standards. The Committee operates under procedures accepted by the American
National Standards Institute as meeting the criteria of consensus proceduresfor American
National Standards.
The first edition of this Standard was approved bythe American National StandardsIn-
stitute on May 2, 1978. Subsequenteditions of the Standardwere issued in 1979 and 1984.
Requests for interpretations,or suggestions for improvement of this American National
Standard, shouldbe addressedto theSecretary, ASME Committeeon Authorized Nuclear
Inspection and Specialized Professional Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017.
This edition incorporates all previous editions and addenda issued prior to December
1993, with no other changes.
