Section IV• Manufacturer's Data Report forms are being revised in order to

simplify the requirements for the Authorized Inspector to complete th "C tifi t f Sh I ti " d th "C tifi t f Fi ldthe "Certificate of Shop Inspection" and the "Certificate of Field Assembly Inspection" portions of the Manufacturers data report form by requiring only the Inspector's signature, National Board commission number and endorsement to be recordedcommission number and endorsement to be recorded.

• A new paragraph covering tolerances is being added under Part HG, as HG-103, titled "Tolerances". This revision was recommended since forewords are not officially considered part ofrecommended, since forewords are not officially considered part of the Code and any language perceived as mandatory and enforceable needed to be moved to the body of the Code.

Section IV• A new Appendix containing rules for the governing BPVC Edition

and Addenda is being added to Section IV as well as revisions d d th h t th C d t l if th i t It h d bneeded throughout the Code to clarify the requirements. It had been

suggested that the BPVC be revised to clarify the requirements rather than relying on interpretations. During work on this item, it became apparent that clarification was needed for establishing thebecame apparent that clarification was needed for establishing the governing BPVC Edition and Addenda for new construction and field assembly as well as for parts. Also, as a result of initiating this item CSP-9 was revised to establish a policy for establishing theitem, CSP 9 was revised to establish a policy for establishing the effective BPVC Edition and Addenda to be used to construct an item that is to be stamped with an ASME Product Certification Mark (e.g. Code Symbol Stamp).
