Translation of ASME Standards
Engineering is a universal language
ASME Certified Translations
There is significant value in translating Standards documents into various languages, as it allows individuals who speak different languages to access and benefit from these resources. Automated translation technologies have made it easier to translate these documents, but it is crucial to have them prepared and reviewed by individuals who are familiar with the specific standard and have expertise in the relevant field. This is necessary to ensure that the translated documents meet the level of quality required by the industry, government, academia, and other engineering communities of practice.

Translation Options
ASME offers three types of translation options:
- Translations for Internal Use by an Organization are translations developed by an organization outside ASME with ASME permission solely for internal use by that organization.
- ASME Standards Translation Products are translations of an ASME Standard produced by ASME as an ASME product. To ensure the quality and accuracy of the translated ASME Standard, an ASME Translation Committee is assigned to each translation project. The Translation Committee is comprised of technical experts having the necessary standards knowledge and language proficiency to translate the English version of an ASME Standard effectively. View the list of current ASME Translation Committees and the Standards Translation Products for which they are responsible.
- Translation/Seller Products are translations of ASME Standards that are produced, developed, and sold by an outside organization (referred to as a Translation/Seller) under an agreement with ASME. Translation/Seller Products are not ASME products but are expected to be an accurate and faithful translation, comparable in quality to an ASME Standards Translation. View the list of Translation/Sellers that sell translations of ASME standards, their translation products, and links to their websites.

We Welcome your Feedback.
ASME welcomes feedback or comments on translations of their standards, as it is important for ASME to ensure that translations are accurate and useful to those who use them. Those who are interested in contributing to the development of ASME standards are invited to contact ASME. Your insight and expertise will help us continue to improve and advance the technology for the benefit of the engineering community.Any questions, comments or concerns may be directed to Oliver Martinez, ASME Project Engineering Advisor, at: martinezo@asme.org
