This ASME Standard provides the requirements applicable to the design of equipment used in the bioprocessing, pharmaceutical and personal-care products industries, as well as other applications with relatively high levels of hygienic requirements. It covers materials, design, fabrication, inspections, testing and certification. ASME-BPE is unique in the world, having resulted from widespread industry requests for standardization. It is the leading Standard on how to design and build equipment and systems used in the production of biopharmaceuticals. It incorporates current best-practices for enhancing product purity and safety. Companies that rigorously apply ASME-BPE often can achieve production efficiencies, lower development and manufacturing costs, and increase quality and safety, while complying with regulations. New topics from the last revision include: Transfer panel and jumper tolerances Documentation requirements Hygienic support systems/rotary lobe pumps/static & dynamic spray devices/sampling systems/filtration & chromatography systems design Weld discoloration acceptance criteria Dynamic seal performance Properties of polymeric materials Process instrumentation ASME-BPE is referenced in ASME
