NBBPVI certification courses are very comprehensive, with suitably difficult exams. They are also necessary if you want be formally recognised to do ASME inspections in other regions that follow the NB/ASME system.

This covers inspection, installation, repair etc of non-ASME equipment. The individual may also be self-employed or work for any inspection company without restriction (unlike for a commission). This is training and certification in pressure equipment inspection but without the status of holding a ‘commission’ carrying AI status. The Pressure Equipment Inspector (PEI) programme Once again there is a NB training course and exam to pass for each type Cast Aluminium Boilers(CAB) and Cast-Iron Boilers CIB).They have designation letters as shown below. There are many types of certifications, many related to fairly uncommon or specialist types of equipment. Their role is to ensure that ASME Certification marks are properly applied. A Certified Individual is an employee of an (ASME) certified organization authorized to use ASME marks.

There are lots of exam ‘endorsements known as O (owner-user inspector), R (Repair), N (Nuclear), I (Nuclear in-service), C (Concrete) and NS (Nuclear supervisor) Both involve 2-week NB training courses and stringent computer-based examinations run by the NB’s testing contractor at test centres around the USA. There are 2 separate commissions: The In-service Commission (IC) for periodic in-service inspection and the standard AI commission (for inspection during construction. It is issued to individuals who have been qualified to perform inspections of boilers and pressure vessels as required by the ASME BPV Code.
This is also known as the Authorized Inspector (AI) Commission.

The website provides excellent summary and reference documents on all their programmes, however here’s a brief summary below. Their role is central to the US integrity industry and holds legal status in many states. The NBBPVI (National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors or just ‘National Board’) is the predominant body in North America for the certifying of pressure equipment inspectors and is closely linked with the ASME BPV (Boiler and pressure vessel) codes.
