Markings such as “ASME,” “ASME Standard,” or any other marking including “ASME,” ASMElogos, or the Certification Mark shall not be used on any item that is not constructed inaccordance with all of the applicable requirements of the Code or Standard. Use of ASME’s name,logos, or Certification Mark requires formal ASME certification; if no certification program isavailable, such ASME markings may not be used. (For Certification and Accreditation Programs,see ation.)Items produced by parties not formally certified by ASME may not be described, either explicitlyor implicitly, as ASME certified or approved in any code forms or other document.
