The ASME BioProcessing Equipment (ASME BPE) is an international standard recognized in over 30 countries. It provides designers and process engineers with a reliable and measurable way of specifying hygienic tubes, valves and fittings for use in high purity applications such as Water-for-Injection (WFI), clean steam, ultrafiltration, etc. As a result, the process of design installation, validation and maintenance will be easier to manage and should assist in minimizing overall project and maintenance costs.

ASME BPE serves the needs of those involved in the BioProcessing, Pharmaceutical, and Personal Care Product industries.

Quarterly meetings are held by the ASME BPE community to discuss trends and developments shaping the BPE standard. The ASME BPE community is comprised of numerous subcommittees and task groups attended by industry experts worldwide. All committee meetings are open to the public, as space will allow.

The BPE-Stockholm agenda will be available in April/May 2008.
