ASME’s product certification programs have grown dramatically. Starting with just two countries in the years prior to 1972, there are now 74 countries in which companies have been certified. ASME is proud that the value of these certification programs has been so widely acknowledged, and that ASME is playing this increasingly vital role in fostering product safety and international commerce.
ASME产品认证数量已经有了大幅度的增长。从1972年以前只有2个国家增加到目前74个国家的公司通过了该项认证。ASME以该项认证受到如此广泛的认可为荣，同时ASME在促进产品安全和国际贸易方面扮演着越来越重要的角色。
The growth of these programs has presented many new opportunities, but also some challenges, especially regarding how to maintain the trademark registrations of ASME’s 28 separate product certification marks across the more than 100 nations in which these marks are currently used on products.
认证项目的增长同时带来了机遇和挑战，特别是在100多个国家和地区范围内如何维护28个独立的产品认证标志的商标注册权成为一个难题。
In order to streamline our multiple marking processes and more effectively manage our numerous global relationships, ASME is pleased to announce the introduction of a new single product certification mark:
为简化钢印标记过程及更高效地维护ASME全球会员关系，ASME很高兴的推出单一的产品认证标记，如下：
New ASME Product Certification Mark 新ASME产品认证标记 Instead of 28 separate ASME product certification marks, there will now be this single comprehensive mark. To maintain a link to the current marks, the new mark will be used in conjunction with a “certification designator” to indicate the applicability of the certification. The following is an example of how the new mark would be used on a nameplate (in this case for a vessel constructed to Section VIII, Division 2):
ASME将采用这个单一的认证标记代替原有的28个独立的ASME产品认证标记。为了保持和以往的标记表述同样的信息，新标记必须同一个“认证种类标识”联合使用以表述认证种类。下面是一个新标识标记在产品铭牌上的例子（此例为遵照ASME第八卷第2章建造的压力容器）：
新标记使用范例 常见问题问答：
Q: When can I begin using the new stamp?
什么时候可以开始使用新钢印？
A: Certified companies may begin to use the new certification mark once the 2011 Addenda to the Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code is published. Revisions have been incorporated describing the use of the mark and the Certification Designator.
当ASME锅炉和压力容器规范2011年增补发布后，该增补中包含了新标记和认证种类标识的使用方法。
Q: My company is a new applicant with a Shop Review scheduled for September of 2011. Assuming we are approved for certification, which stamp(s) will I receive?

在没有额外申请获取新钢印的前提下，2011年末前均发放原来样式的钢印。
Q: My company is currently certified. May we request the new stamp now?
我的公司近期认证，可否申请新钢印？
A: Yes.
是滴
Q: Will there be a fee associated with obtaining the new stamp?
获取新钢印是否收费？
A: If you currently have stamps, there will not be any charge. If you are a newly certified company without any current stamps and you request the new one, the regular stamp fee will apply.

Q: Are we required to return our certificate when we return the old stamps?
归还老式钢印时是否需要归还认证证书？

不，你的认证授权了规范符号的使用，新的规范符号将由认证种类标识来代替。2012年1月1日起，认证将被注册至新的认证标记。

A: Yes. During the 18 month transition period the old and new symbols are considered equivalent.
是的，但仅在18个月的过渡期内，可以这样做
Q: My company manufactures small valves which are too small to be stamped. We are currently permitted to use alternative marking processes if accepted by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors and authorized by ASME. Will this continue to be in effect?

A: Effective January 1, 2013 the ASME mark with the appropriate designator need be used. However, prior to the mandatory January 1, 2013 date either marking will be acceptable.
不太理解，为避免歧义未翻译
Q: Do the old and new marks have the same meaning? For example, does the old mark (“N” inside the clover-leaf border) have the same meaning as the new mark (“ASME” diagonally inside the clover-leaf border) with the “N” certification designator underneath?
新老标记是否有等同的意义？例如，老的N标记（三叶草花边包围着大写字母N）和新标记（三叶草花边包围着大写字母ASME）与认证种类标识的组合是否等同？
