Remote document review and on-site source inspection for ASME-coded pressure equipment fabricated in South Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. The North American QA layer for Asian fabrication.
API 510 | API 570 | CWB Level 2 | ASME / API Standards
South Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore host ASME-authorized fabricators that build pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and process equipment for export projects. Typical scopes include heavy-wall vessels, alloy service equipment, and code-stamped pressure equipment.
Clients ordering from these facilities often require independent inspection at the fabrication site, separate from the fabricator's internal QC and the authorized inspection agency (AIA) involved in the ASME stamp process. Norman QC provides that coverage with remote document review and on-site hold-point inspection.
Technical documentation at all major East Asian fabricators is prepared in English. ASME and API standards are English-language documents. WPS/PQR packages, ITPs, and inspection reports are prepared in English, making remote review and coordination practical regardless of the fabrication location.
