Q: I recently changed my AIA of record. Do I need to inform ASME or does the AIA take care of notifying ASME?

A: It is the Certificate Holder's responsibility to immediately inform ASME as soon as they make a change in the AIA of record. Also, ASME should receive notification from the previous AIA of record that they no longer have an inspection agreement with the Certificate Holder and a letter from the new AIA of record indicating that the new AIA has a contract to perform inspection services at the facility located at the address listed on the Certificate Holder's Certificate of Authorization. The Certificate Holder may be required to provide ASME with sufficient documentation to verify that they had a valid contract with an AIA at the time that all components were ASME Code Symbol stamped. This may be required if there a gap between notification of the change of AIA of record and the date the new inspection contract is signed. ASME copies the Certificate Holder's AIA of record on most correspondence to the Certificate Holder. Failure to provide ASME with the name of your current AIA of record may result in the new AIA not receiving notification of important information, or even loss of certification.
