The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) develops and publishes various standards and guidelines for the design, fabrication, and inspection of equipment and systems in various industries. One such standard is ASME BPE, which focuses on bioprocessing equipment.

ASME BPE, also known as "Bioprocessing Equipment," provides guidelines for the design, fabrication, and inspection of equipment used in bioprocessing facilities. This standard is crucial for ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of bioprocessing equipment, which is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, and other biological materials.
