Contacting ASME Standards Development Committees
Standards development committees meet regularly to consider revisions based on technological advances, new data, and changing environmental, industry and mechanical engineering needs. All meetings are free and open to the general public.
Check the ASME Calendar of Events for a schedule of upcoming meetings.
Each Supervisory Board and Standards development committee has a web page. By expanding the list you can find all existing committees, the charters defining the scope of each group's activities, information about future meetings and contact information for staff responsible.

This option can be found on the appropriate Standards development committee webpage after selecting "Errata" in the "Publication Information" section. Those changes deemed and approved as editorial corrections to the standard will be made available in the next edition of the standard published after approval.
- Requests for New Standards Development
Requests to develop new ASME products (e.g. standard, guide, technical report, workshop, symposium, etc.) are evaluated in accordance with ASME Codes & Standards Policy (CSP) 49, Guide for Establishing New Codes or Standards Projects. To request formal evaluation of a proposal for a new ASME standards development activity, download and complete the form and email it to: CraneR@asme.org Director, Initiatives and New Product Development
