현재 수행하고 있는 프로젝트에는 좀 힘들지 몰라도 미국에서 각 State의 Authorized inspector로 활동할 수 있다. 단, 해당되는 업무를 수행하지 않는 경우는 3년마다 재 시험을 봐야한다는 함정
각 해당하는 시험마다 해당하는 Standard의 해당하는 Edition으로 공부해야 하는데 현재(2014년기준)으로 해당되는 API Standard 및 Code 는 아래와 같다.
특이점은 ASME 는 현재 최신판이 아니라는것
하지만 공부해보니 공부할 양이 만만치 않다. 계산은 지긋지긋하게 많이한다.

느낌점은 : 만만치 않다. 기본적은 ASME에 대한 공부가 선행되지 않으면 시간이 많이 걸린다.
