Code Cases of the United States

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) contains "Code Cases" issued by the U.S. authority responsible for a specific industry, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These Code Cases provide interpretations, modifications, or exceptions to existing safety and technical standards, allowing industry professionals to address new technologies or unique situations more flexibly. They are not part of the official standards but serve as guidance for compliance and safety, pending formal adoption. Code Cases help ensure safety, innovation, and practicality in regulated industries like manufacturing, the environment, and transportation.
