began to develop their own boiler laws. This led to the development of different laws among the states. An ASME Committee developed the Boiler Code between 1911 and 1914. Provided for safe construction and promoted commerce through consistency of requirements.
The methodology used in creating the Boiler Code set the standard for modern code-development.
